pen to deliver half units

[bobandpat]

Hi all.

Went for my annual checkup recently and asked the nurse about a pen that'll deliver half units of insulin. She seemed to think it may be a good idea as I'm taking more exercise than normal and a full unit, more or less, of insulin can be too much.

She gave me a prescription for a NovoPen 3 Demi as I'm using NovoRapid Penfill insulin. Unfortunately this is no longer in production. I tried all our local pharmacists and no-one had any.

Does anyone know of a pen that will take the NovoRapid 3ml cartridge and deliver the insulin in half units please?

The Novopen Echo delivers in half units and has a memory function too :thumbup:
