The problem seems to be with the FlexTouch pens but the reusable pens are so much better - more robust, give half units if needed, have a reminder of the last dose and produce far less waste.Unless you have dexterity problems, I do not know why the reusable pens are not more popular.I have seen "complaints" that they do not give as large doses. If you take a large dose, it is better to split the dose to avoid lumps forming[USER=284021]@TerriH[/USER] can you explain why there is a greater risk with dosage when you have a most robust pen? This is not something I have ever heard and been using reusable pens for nearly 20 years.In my mind encouraging more use of the better NovoEcho pens is a good thing.</blockquote>
