Hi all,

I’ve ordered a box of 100 GlucoRX 4mm 31g spare needles as I was unable to get a smaller pack. I forgot to order some syringes that are compatible with the needles to extract the golden dose and I am hesitant to pay again the high postage fees to order them separately as I am unsure for how much longer I’ll be getting the old style pen.

1. Would you recommend getting the syringes from Amazon and use the GlucoRX needles (I would not trust the needles from Amazon, but not sure if the syringes would also be unsafe?)

2. Is anyone selling any luer syringes or be interested in a swap?

Will my 4mm needle be long enough for extracting?

Many thanks!

Hi all,

I finished my first pen last week (4th dose) and thought I’d try to use the golden dose for this week. I read that the pen will work if using some force and I think I might have used a bit too much force as the whole thing broke!

I binned the pen in frustration and used 30clicks on the 5mg pen. I then ended up ordering some syringes and needles from UK Medi for future uses (if I don’t end up being sent the new model pen!)

I ordered the 5mg pen for my 2nd month but decided to stay on 2.5mg as I’m still losing weight and think I want to see how long I can push the 2.5mg for. If I were to stay on the lower dose, that means I have 8wks worth of jabs in a 5mg pen but they only recommend using a pen for 30days.

Have people used the same pen for 8 weeks and found it ok?

Thank you!

Just had my 3rd jab of the 2.5mg and I'd like to order the next batch as I'm a little nervous seeing all the delays with delivery.

I'm in two minds as to what dose to order. I still get cravings but I manage them a lot better than before - not even sure if it's the jab or determination. I try to walk more, eat better, give into my sweet tooth cravings a lot less and even when I do, I only have small portions (1 ice cream, 1 Lion bar, etc). But the craving is there. I was hoping to stay on 2.5mg for a couple of months and titrate after but now I'm nervous that if I get the 2.5mg for the next month and I still have cravings, it'll have been too late and I'll undo any good work done so far. At the same time I don't want to move up while I'm still losing weight.

Has anyone been in this position before? What did you end up doing?

Thanks all!
