Semglee or Rezvoglar Insulin Pens, anyone?

@grrranny did you start a new discussion on this topic? I feel like this was being kicked around in a different discussion. In case I’m wrong or you missed it I’ll try to reiterate. I’m nearly 50 years diabetic. I also used Lantus SoloStar pens. At one point these were changed to Basaglar. My provider assured me that these were equivalent. Another long lasting insulin is Tresiba, but I don’t know how it compares to Lantus. I am unfamiliar with Semglee and Rezvoglar. One thing I do know is that if you require insulin you should NOT go without it for long! Can you contact your provider and pharmacy ASAP to get this resolved?

Yes; thanks again, Cheryl. I did reply to you in this original discussion before posting here in trying to zero-in on what I should do: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/lantus-solostar-pens-out-of-stock/
As I mentioned in that other discussion -- after going through all this, I was actually able to find my usual 5-pen box of the Lantus SoloStar pens at a Walgreens just a little farther away. Don't know why my usual neighborhood pharmacy couldn't have found that and either had it sent to them (like they did once before) or asked if I could go pick it up (like I did once before). Would have saved a lot of stress, as I really don't want to switch from my Lantus. But the good thing is that after doing all this research, I'll be prepared next time there is a shortage for real, and if Sanofi eventually stops making these pens.
