Nova Echo pens? Just wondering as I'm changing to them as I seem to forget if I took insulin or not haha

Yup, I have one and very happy with it. I do use the 1/2 unit setting from time to time. I very rarely use the memory thingie at the end of the pen. It tells you the last dose but not when it was taken.

The NovoPen Echo is the best pen I've ever used, can't recommend it enough.

It tells you the last dose but not when it was taken.

It does tell you when you last injected, on the display it shows up how much time has lapsed since you last used the pen, have a read of the user manual that came with your pen for confirmation.

It's one of the best things I've ever been given, I use half unit increments all the time because my ratios are quite high carbs to insulin, and it makes such a difference. I also find it's a lot more sturdy feeling than the disposable pens I was on before.

They only go up to 30 units (ofcourse my nurse didn't mention this), since I use 35 unites of tresiba it didn't really work that well for me. Also since it's half units I had to turn it back all the way which was kind of annoying.

I also sometimes forget to take usually my tresiba. What I do is set it on my freestyle libre meter.
