[QUOTE="Bertyboy, post: 1733721, member: 453093"] I just this morning got me a NovoPen Echo. Felt terrible throwing away all that plastic from the pre-filled pens, and was surprised that the diabates nurse was more than happy enough to hand over some rep stock and change my prescription (she also put my prescription on repeat so I could order stuff online and let me order 200 strips at a time instead of 50. She is my new best friend). On the down side, having thought I'd nailed BG control as a T1 diagnosed >4 months ago, I've been struggling to keep numbers down for the past 2 weeks. Even tweaking basals up I end up waking up in the 7s and 8s. Even this small overshoot has left me feeling a bit **** (adding to the stress of work at the moment). I'm paranoid about getting a hypo (only had one mild one so far), so I'm not confident to start doing Novorapid corrections. And to boot, I've caught something off someone and the "pneumonia" jab I was encouraged to have has left my arm with what feels like a hot golf ball in it. So, nothing I can't deal with, but diabetes no longer feels like the breeze I thought it was. [/QUOTE]
