I don't use the pens but have you taken them back to the pharmacy for a replacement?
If it's a persistent problem then contact your Dr/DSN and they'll change your prescription, but suggest you also report the pens using the Yellow Card Scheme:
If these continue to give problems then ask the DN to change you to refillable cartridge pens. I've been using these for my Novorapid and Levemir for 3 years with no problems.
Hi John. Thanks for posting about your 0.5u refillable cartridge NovaPen Echo. Having a pen which uses 0.5u will be very helpful for matching insulin with carbs more accurately

I had to ask for it. I spoke to my GPs after I was diagnosed and asked for a NovoRapid Echo pen. I got asked why, and had to explain about the half-unit increments. It came two days later to the pharmacy to collect with the test strips, Lantus, NovoRapid cartridges, etc.
A worthwhile five minutes.
Surely, should be standard issue given the finer control?
