A couple of current problems. First my pharmacy cannot currently get hold of any Libre 2 Plus sensors but can get Libre 2. Has anyone else hit this problem? Secondly a few months back a few Novorapid cartridges cracked in use in the NovoPen 6. I reported this to the pharmacist and after bit of pressure I was given a new pack. All was well for a couple of months and then this week I had another crack. I've reverted to my older NovoPen 4 in case the newer pen was applying too much pressure etc. I reported the failure to NovoNordisk and I will be returning the faulty cartridge to them. My fridge temperature is not too low causing freezing. A year ago Novo had faulty NovoRapid cartridges and issued a public warning although the person I spoke to at Novo was unaware of that (!). Anyone else come across the problem?

Apart from a lot of memory errors, my Novopen plus isn't giving any other issues. No problem getting the Libre2 plus either

I have had a problem with one of my Tresiba cartridges, it started leaking every time i used it and on inspection i found a crack running down the full length of the vile. obviously causing problems as i am now unsure how much insulin i have been getting, i only noticed it by chance as the cold liquid ran down my belly lol

I was getting high blood sugars and couldn't understand why !! So did a test of 22 units into the needle cap and hardly any went in. Problem solved
