Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone in the UK has already been given a Novopen echo plus or Novopen 6? I know they were first annnounced years ago, and then released and recalled in some countries last year. Google isn't being very helpful, has anyone seen them available here yet?
Thanks!

Have you contacted NovoNordisk with your question?
I think that would be the easiest way to find out if it's available.

Let us know the outcome, I'm sure you're not the only one interested!
Myself, I'm still happy on my Novopen 5, but the 6/Echo plus do seem to have some useful features.

Just to update, apparently the new pens are available in selected CCGs but they weren't able to tell me when they expect to be widely available in the UK.
