Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / August 2007Byetta Pen Needles
Howdy; I start Byetta tomorrow and was wondering if you could provide the name of an internet store that sells the pen needles at a fairly inexpensive price. My search with Google only found a couple places at around $30.00 per 100 plus shipping. The samples I have are the "BD Ultra-Fine III, 3/16" 31 gauge needles" Any help would be appreciated as I have to pay for all my diabetes supplies and drugs. Regards and THANKS Dan > Howdy; > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Wal<art/Sam's Club is the cheapest, and a box of 100 will last me about 9 years - I change every month, and OCCASIONALY have to replace a bent one.

Ted, are you saying you re-use your needles unless they bend? I just started Byetta,, 3 weeks ago,, so far, all is good. I think I'm eating more than I did before because I can eat more carbs that I could before yet my sugar levels are wonderful.

Yes I throw out the blue cap and leave the needle on the pen. The needle has it's own cover. When I change pens I change needles, BUT occasionally I bend a needle and need to use another one. > I just > started Byetta,, 3 weeks ago,, so far, all is good.

People THINK that they do Ted, you know I didnt know that. As a matter of fact, when I get a new refill for the byetta and then run out of needles, which I havent done more than once since November I had to get a script. It was covered by insurance. Ted, do you put the white cap back on the needle. Loretta > Ted, you know I didnt know that.

My fingers arn't that good. Cheryl, one of the side effects of byetta is that it is an appetitie suppresaant. Be careful, if you overeat, you will have nausea and vomiting at time. Byetta isnt so that you can eat more, iit is that you can stabilize your numbers and many of us have lost lots of weight, I have lost about thirtyish pounds since being on.it Loretta Dan, I had to get a prescription for the needles for the byetta pen. I dont know if you can by on line, but maybe you can, With the prescription, my insurance pays and I have a co pay of 15.00. I use each needles about three days so I dont find the cost prohibitve. I hope you do well on the byetta. If you eat too much. you will feel sick. It is a great appetite suppresant.

The needles is longer than the BD ultra fine. Check on price of it as the BD ones are much more expensive. http://www.relion.com/diabetes/insulin_delivery-product-59.htm Cheryl ps, I like the BD untra fine one better,, but not enough to pay 3 times more. |
