Is anyone using the new versions of the Echo pens? Are they any different from the old ones? My prescription has been changed to new ones, so I want to make sure they are much the same (or better)!
 
I've not used the previous version but I'll bet you'll find the new ones basically the same to use.
 
I've just switched to an Echo plus. it’s almost identical to look at, the end dial is a bit wider, and the display is easier to read, in that it gives you the time since last dose in hours, minutes and seconds, not just the approximate mark on a dial. Using it feels exactly the same as the old Echo.
 
The new Echo 6 and Echo Plus work with Libre to record your dosage on the phone/Meter so a good step forward if you have a Libre.

I don't think the reader supports that (but the phone apps do). diasend and mySugr can also scan them.
