I HAVE E MAILED NUMEROUS CHERS ABOUT THEIR PRACTICE OF RIGGING THE SELF INJECTOR. I HAVE BEEN USING THE VIALS LAST TWO YEARS , AND LOADING AN INSULIN SYRINGE MYSELF WITH ONE THIRD TO ONE HALF DOSE. IT'S GREAT FOR CONSERVING RX AND INSURANCE DOLLARS. SINCE YOU CAN RISK THE STERILE NATURE ONCE YOU PUNCTURE THE RUBBER SEAL ANYWAY I HAVE BEEN LOADING ONE VIAL TO THE TOP FROM OTHER VIALS USING THE SYRINGE AS THE TRANSFER DEVICE. I TRAVEL FOR WORK, SELF EMPLOYED MARKETING. BY DOING THIS IT MAKES TRAVEL LESS CUMBERSOME. IF I'M DOING A PRESENTATION I'M NOT STANDING THERE WITH 3 VIALS IN MY POCKET JUST ONE REALLY LOADED. YOU MEASURE IT OUT WHEN YOU LOAD IT INTO THE SYRINGE ANYWAY, NO GUESS ABOUT HALF A VIAL ETC. I'M GLAD TO SEE OTHERS DOING THE VIAL. IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO CONSERVE UNTIL THE INSURANCE COMPANYS MINE ANYWAY LEARN THE FIRST THING ABOUT CLUSTERS AND GET THEIR HEADS OUT OF THE MIGRAINE SECTION OF THE BOOK THEY HAVE BEEN READING TO ME OVER THE PHONE.
