Mostly, yes. The newer insulins (well they've been around for 20 years) have molecules which are engineered be faster acting so that they reduce peaks in blood sugar after meals; or longer lasting, so they can provide a more predictable background coverage.

Those prices have nothing to do with subsidies. It is showing that the NHS pays a fraction of the US prices for the same insulins.

Diabetics are exempt from all out-of-pocket prescription charges though, so that part is subsidized.

The NHS pays £14 - £28 a vial for those newer formulations.

At least with Dell's on-site service, I have had two keyboards fixed for me at my desk in about about 5 minutes.

Argos have always done 16-day no quibble money back guarantees

tip - if you want to cd into a UNC path, you can't; but you can pushd into one and it'll create a temporary drive letter mapping and unmap it when you popd out

Personally I'd say there is no difference; I've stuck out on syringes in the uk for ages just because I found them lightweight and convenient; but recently moved to pre-filled pens. The cost to the NHS for prefilled pens vs syringes is pretty negligible.

Syringes were fine for me, pens might be less embarrassing to use in public maybe?

In the UK, the newer insulins cost the NHS £30-£37 for a box of 5 x 3ml disposable pens. Diabetics don't pay any charges for the prescription.

Hmm, I could imagine that the legibility of sentences and paragraphs, where you are pretty much reading a word at a time, is different from the legibility of things like codes where you are reading a character at a time. And for short words like table column headings, I suspect there isn't much difference either way.

The whole of the NHS 'Behind the Headlines' blog is fantastic btw; taking newspaper stories, looking at the studies behind them and sifting out the truth from the sensationalism.

Indeed, a relative of mine recently died of oral cancer, which was thought to be caused by moderate drinking.

Could they be making more money from ads than they expect to make from a reasonably priced premium version?
