Welcome @Strawhatshianne, really glad you found us. You have certainly raised a touchpoint issue. But as Eric says you can get more modern insulin’s far cheaper than what you have been quoted. You may want to introduce yourself here: > [@Welcome, introduce yourself here!](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/welcome-introduce-yourself-here/145): > > Hello, welcome to FUDiabetes (For Unlimited Diabetes). We’re happy to have you here and look forward to sharing, learning, and exploring all things diabetes together. I’m Sam, formerly known as Sam19. I live in Alaska with my wife and 2 young children. I was diagnosed with T1 unexpectedly at age 29. I currently manage with tresiba, novolog MDI, and Afrezza. I use a dexcom G5 cgm intermittently. Nice to meet you all. And please, don’t say you haven’t been the best diabetic, this PIA disease just gives you more opportunities than most to improve, and it sounds like now is one of those times! As for remembering to take basal insulin, have you considered purchasing a syringe reminder tray like this?
