Some slightly good news and some slightly worrying

[trophywench]

Hey, I've just noticed the novopen 5 - it's got a memory function too!

Not on NovoNordisk website so I emailed them (of course I pump now, but I do currently have 2 x Novopen 4s ...... ) - guess what?

ISTR them saying EXACTLY the same about the Echo; it's like deja vu !!!



Dear Ms C,

Thank you for your enquiry regarding the NovoPen? 5. The Novopen? 5 is
currently not available in the UK and there are no plans in place as of yet
to release it here.
The most similar device available in the UK is the NovoPen? Echo, which
also has a memory function and operates very similarly to the the NovoPen?
5. You will need to speak with your healthcare professional to see if this
pen is suitable for you.

Information on new products will be passed on to healthcare professionals,
who then inform their patients of them. You can also visit our UK website,
at www.novonordisk.co.uk, which is updated with new products as soon as
they become available.

I hope this was helpful. Should you have any more queries, please don't
hesitate to contact us at the NovoNordisk Customer Care Line.

Yours Sincerely

Novo Nordisk Customer Care and Medical Information Line

Hiya

I’ve long been using my trusty Novopens; currently the Novopen 4. Or
rather 2 of them (NR and L)

Someone in a forum has mentioned the Novopen 5 which has a memory – like
the Echo. As I get older, the need for this becomes greater .....

Can’t find any info – is it available in UK? If not – when?

Thanks!

Jenny

Sorry to hear of your extra worries Northerner, but given your ability to prove everyone/everything wrong, I'm sure it will turn out to be nothing, that or you will magically self-heal within weeks!

Novopen Echo - shouldn't it be standard issue to all over 40's

(Especially women - ouch!!)
