Does anyone have a policy on the newer concentrated insulins available (U-200, U-300)? When these are meant as basals, do you:
1. Convert to formulary basal?
2. Use patient's own pen? Where is the pen stored?
3. Bring pen to pharmacy and draw out individual doses? I know you're not supposed to draw out of a pen device, but would also prefer not to have this pen on the floor.
