Half unit pens

Received a back-up HumaPen Luxura HD Lilly pen, on prescription from my Diabetic doctor at my GP today.. So if you are insulin sensitive & want a HD pen try your GP, worked for me. By the by they cost @ £40+ (excl VAT).

Hi all. I use a half unit pen (NovoPen Echo) which has made a huge difference in keeping my BG's under control. Like others on here, I have found I am extremely sensitive to insulin and am currently on a ratio of 1 unit of insulin to 3 CP"s. (Or as my DAFNE team would say; 1/2 to 1 1/2 ratio)

Having recently had a pen malfunction (not its fault), I had to revert back to a full unit pen for a few days until my GP got a replacement - more problematic than you would think, and I nearly has a mishap and overdosed!

Glad now to be back on half units. My other saving grace has been going low carb - I'll post this on another post.
