Has anyone on Tresiba had dodgy batches of pens where the mechanism is jamming? Had two different batch numbers with the same issue recently

No but I’ll keep an eye out now that you mentioned it!
 
You will have better luck with a reusable pen. They are very reliable. The NovoPen Echo does half units and remembers the last injection too.

Plus if you use a reusable pen there's less plastic waste, less fridge space required for storage and. in the worst case scenario, you can remove the cartridge from the pen and use an old style disposable syringe to draw insulin from it....

Hi,

Can you give a little more clarity on the description of "jamming?"
Is this during performance of an "air shot?" Possibly after fitting a new needle?
Or during the actual injection after a successful needle prime..?
