Ok... I know this is probably Taboo as hell, but I am going to ask it anyway!

Has anybody resorted to Self-Fills instead of paying some damned money hungry doc $1,000 to do it?

I only ask because I moved away from my clinic and the doc here wants almost a grand to stick me with a darned needle and squirt in some salty water!

If anybody has done this, how did you get your Huber needles? Prescription, black market (just kidding)?

Wow.... It has never occurred to me, but that would awesome! I mean...really...I wonder if there will come a time when training is available for that. My mother gave her own insulin shots for a decade.

You might check with naturopaths in your new area. Mine is trained to do fills, and does so for only $150 each.

Giving insulin shots is not the same thing as giving yourself a fill.

I think it is too risky. It would be easy to puncture your tubing and then you would have a significant problem.

I can understand why you would be interested at $1k a pop. That is wayyy too much money.

Perhaps you should start looking for different fill options in your area.

Yes, actually on another board a guy said he learned how to fill and unfill himself. So it is not unheard of. There are much cheaper places, even considering the cost to fly somewhere, I sure wouldnt pay $1000. Have you checked out all the doctors in your area and really asked around for other fill doctors?
