The medicines watchdog, the MHRA, is urging people with diabetes to check their insulin pens.

It says a manufacturing fault has led to some batches of pens or cartridges containing the wrong amount of insulin.

Yes, I've just had a call from the pharmacy to check my batch number. I believe she said they were recalling batches beginning with CT (mine is CR), but please don't rely/panic on this information, i.e. check with your pharmacist!
