I had most of my Pancreas removed in 2009, what remains is inactive. I am very sensitive to Insulin so my Diabetic Doctor prescribed a half unit Novorapid pen. Does anyone use one of these, and, if so, how do you find the results?

Hi. I have the NovoPen Echo. It works fine and I find it useful with the 1/2 units for my rapid insulin

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

Thanks - do you think I should keep my Novorapid pen I use at present (1 unit as opposed to half) or discard it with my sharps?
