Has anyone else had a negative experience with this piece of kit? When mine arrived I fitted it correctly, but it would just restart the clock at the slightest jog. the next one wouldn't work at all, a third arrived with an already dead battery. In the end I just gave up. It's a great idea, a really really good idea. The problem appeared to be that because they only make one universal timer with different sleeves for different pens the trigger mechanism is a compromise. I know that there's an alternative timer, but it only works with disposable pens. My nurse has obtained for me the Lilly Memoir pen which I'm really looking forward to, but that still leaves the long acting injection out in the cold. Surely the Lilly approach is the way forward - build the timer into the pen. I'd happily pay good money for a timing pen that actually works.
