[QUOTE="UK T1, post: 2276226, member: 503751"] Yup, I use the echo, I got one from my diabetes team who then wrote to my GP so I could get another for my basal insulin. It shows you the last dose (so check before you prime/prep for the next injection) and it has lines which show how many hours ago you last injected. I've read about a new Novopen which has Bluetooth capacity so you can set it up to sync the pen memory so you know exactly what you injected and when. I asked my DSN about it in Feb but she said it wasn't yet available in the UK and would probably take a little while to be cheap enough to have on the NHS anyway, as she estimated my echo pen to be roughly £80. For something I use at least 5 times a day and have had for maybe 3 years now I think that's great value but expensive in the first instance. If you're on insulin I think you should have a diabetes team too so maybe see what they suggest? Or old fashioned diary again but not so handy when you're out and about. [/QUOTE]
