I'm liking the Novo Echo but is it just for children?? As wherever I read about it, it mentions children!

Adults don't need the 1/2 unit steps and the 30 unit limit of the Novo Echo.
It's only a 30 unit limit?? Really???? Noo my evening levemir at the moment is 36 morning is 28!View attachment 15638
Oh yes we do need them!!
After being fine tuned to a pump that delivers 0.1 for a bolus then adults certainly can get echo pens.
Highly recommended by me. However if needing more than 30 units in a jab then it could be a pain to use.
I could use the echo for bolus as I rarely inject over 20units for that it's just levemir....novo pen5????Yep its 30. But the higher dosage you take the less chance of 1/2 a unit being needed...
How much bolus qtys are you averaging. Its more likely the bolus that would be better with 1/2 unit.

I love my echo's as I'm a bit scatty brained sometimes. Its good to be able to see last units given and time on the end .

I started off on the novopen junior loved that pen! I just want a new one I don't mind the novopen4 Which is what I've got at the moment but I want something newer....I'm terrible lol! After all we've got to live with it so gotta "enjoy" it somehow! Also is there not a pen that does more than 30 units????The NovoPen Junior is a half unit pen and designed for children but the NovoPen Echo can be used by both adults and children and comes in different colours.
The Echo is by far the best pen I've ever used
They do free skins for them aswell!!And you can ask for them in either red or blue to differentiate between basal and bolus... Although initially going back to mdi I did also have to use a permanent marker as a reminder and write basal on one and bolus on the other!! Lol muddle age forgetfulness!!
