Update on Insulin Supplies - from Diabetes UK & MyDiabetes*MyWay

You may be aware that an insulin manufacturing company called Novo Nordisk are making some changes to the insulins they supply. We have summarised the changes below, but they should not make a difference to most newsletter readers.

Insulin Levemir is being discontinued at the end of December 2026. This does not affect supplies of Tresiba.

Insulatard will be discontinued in Penfill (cartridge) form and will only be available in vial form from the end of March 2025. If the district nurse comes to give you or a relative Insulatard, they normally use a vial and syringe, and these supplies will not be affected.

NovoRapid FlexTouch will no longer be available after the end of March 2025. Please note that most patients who have NovoRapid in a prefilled pen use NovoRapid FlexPen and this is not affected by this discontinuation. We would ask that you check your repeat prescription carefully to avoid any disruption to your insulin supply.
