[QUOTE="lollyann1, post: 758787, member: 100467"] I went to my Surgery this morning because I had not heard from any of the Diabetic Nurses. I was having a problem trying to load my brand new NovoEcho Half Unit Pen. It will be very useful because I am extremely insulin sensitive. I had the Pen and some needles for it delivered to me. I already use NovoRapid but that comes as a complete Unit. The NovoEcho is rather like my Lantus Pen where you have to attach a needle to the cartridge.. Anway, I inserted the insulin cartridge into my new NovoEcho but could I fit the part of the unit that goes onto the main part of the pen - no. I found out I was twisting the top of the pen instead of twisting then clicking! I had the booklet but I was tired so decided a Nurse might be able to help me. The Nurse did exactly the same things as I had done at first until suddenly the top fitted with a click. My point in writing in such detail is that a Diabetic Nurse would (hopefully) have been able to advise me on what to do, even over the 'phone. Whilst I fully appreciate that the Diabetic Nurses' workload has increased in my area, and there have been financial cutbacks, I am pretty certain this is not an isolated problem. I suppose in hindsight I could have gone to the Pharmacy, if I need to query something again I think I will either 'phone the Pharmacy, or, if I am feeling up to it, go there. [/QUOTE]
