Type 1 diabetes

Hi there,
I just received my issue of Diabetes Health magazine and I noticed an
ad for cheaper diabetes testing supplies, syringes and insulin. I
thought I would pass it on for anyone who would benefit from this
information.
The Website is: www.relion.com
It is products offered through Walmart or Sam’s Club. I have posted
some of the information below as I am not sure how to put a link on
this posting.
Hope it helps, Evelyn ***** RELION®/NOVOLIN® INSULIN *****
ReliOn®/Novolin® insulin recombinant DNA origin, is the newest
example of Wal-Mart’s ongoing commitment to making quality,
affordable Diabetes care available to everyone! ReliOn/Novolin is
manufactured for Wal-Mart by Novo Nordisk, the world’s leader in

insulin production. ReliOn/Novolin insulin is available in three
formulations: R (regular), N (NPH), and 70/30 (70% NPH, 30% regular).
If you’re currently using another brand of human insulin, changing to
ReliOn/Novolin could save you over $150 per year!* (Naturally, you
should discuss any change in insulin with your doctor).

right for you:
ReliOn Ultra-Thin

obtain a sample from their fingers or for children and adults with
sensitive fingers. These lancets work well with the latest technology
in meters requiring a small drop of blood.

ReliOn Standard 21 Gauge Lancets are ideal for people with callused
fingertips or for those who have difficulty producing an ample blood
droplet. These lancets work well with older technology meters that
require a large drop of blood.

***** SYRINGES & PEN NEEDLES *****
Syringes
ReliOn now offers all needle gauge options:
29 gauge, 30 gauge and the NEW 31 gauge. ReliOn Insulin Syringes
provide the quality, comfort and value you expect form every product
carrying the ReliOn name. ReliOn 31 gauge provides you with the
thinnest gauge needle available. All feature electro-polished
surgical grade stainless steel needles with state-of-the-art needle
point geometry. Importantly, all have precisely printed scale
markings and bold numbers for accurate readings. And, all ReliOn
syringes are individually wrapped for your maximum protection.
30 Units (3/10 cc)
This is the perfect syringe for children’s dosing. Easy to read
markings for exact measurement of insulin.
50 Units (1/2 cc)
100 Units (1 cc)
This syringe is specifically made for maximum insulin dosing.
NOTE: Along with 1/2 cc and 1 cc units, both are available in 3/10 cc
units. These syringes feature half unit markings for more precise
dosing. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR PARENTS CARING FOR CHILDREN
WITH DIABETES.

easier for patients (particularly those who are dexterity-impaired).

needs: 29g/12mm needles and 31g/8mm needles.
