    Anyone a pen user that forgets their doses? Common with the older generation, and probably for those newly diagnosed as its not yet 'normal'. I am looking for a few case studies to trial a product and answer a few generic questions for me. Any volunteers appareciated. Thanks

    I really can't see anybody using that box thing. Novopens come with a built in digital display which tells you the size and time since your last dose.

    I use Timesulin to keep track of my NovaRapid and stop me overdosing or double dosing. The slow release is just based around mealtimes i.e. Breakfast / Dinner

    If I had more room in my prescription cupboard I'd use at home but not practical for my handbag.
    Housebound might benefit thou if no little hands to interfer.
