Can you share the link to where Lilly states a UK kwikpen can be used for 6 weeks after first use. All patient instructions and Lilly websites state 30 days from first use. Obviously it makes sense to question instructions shared on youtube which contradict patient instructions and while I see many people saying "it will be fine" I have not seen actually credible information from Lilly.

@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified20 күн бұрын
@fatmehahmed9546 I personally discourage two injections same day as patients need to spare the sites and use alternate sites each week. Sometimes, I recommend taking 0.25 mg every 3 days to get steady state of 0.5mg per week. But that's only in exceptional cases. Why should one do it when taking 0.5mg once weekly would be a cheaper option if that's the recommended dose. The only reason I could think would be tolerance issues with full dose of 0.5mg in one go and then I split the dose. But that's of licence advice for strict supervision under an endocrinologist. You can't take youtube as your endocrine advice as there's no responsibility in such conversations

If a break longer than 8 weeks happened from high dose then you may trial lower dose because it might be a good chance to get same response with lower dose. This also avoids unnecessary side effects with sudden starting off high dose

@DinasUmhassn your dose will be decided by your doctor and adjusted as per response. I try to get maximum response from minimum dose to avoid side effects and prevent relapsed weight gain. It's best to always have starting dose of 0.25mg and go as per your response. It's best to discuss this with your endocrinologist. This demonstration was for someone who couldn't tolerate high dose and needed to take lower dose from the high dose pen. Later on they went on their higher dose as clinically needed
