heads up diabetics and insulin users

[Athlete]

I have no idea what kind of insulin these guys make, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.. better safe than sorry:

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. health officials warned doctors and patients on Wednesday that Covidien Ltd was recalling nearly half a million single-use syringes that could pose a serious risk to diabetics.

The Food and Drug Administration said the possibly mislabeled ReliOn syringes could lead to patients receiving an insulin overdose of as much as 2.5 times the intended dose, leading to low blood sugar levels and serious health consequences, including death."

They don't make insulin, they make insulin syringes.

"During the packaging process, some syringes labeled for use with U-40 insulin were mixed with syringes labeled for use with U-100 insulin."​
