My last pen has just expired after 7 years of very practicle use. The alternative is a flimsy pen which does not fit into trouser pocket easily
After contacting Novo they suggest putting it a bag for ease of transport. (THAT would be a man bag would it!!!) I now intend to search various websites to check availability worldwide

I am more then disappointed the Innovo pen being discontinued. Having used it for many many years, the size, the displaywas just perfect. I also learnt last year, that the InDuo matching blodd meter was also discontinued, which was also very disappointing. Does anybody actually listen to waht we think or even want ???

I am very disappointed in the Innovo pen being discontinued.
It’s simple to use, discreet and small. It was also good in letting you know that you have taken your insulin and how long ago.
I never had any problems with this pen and am outraged at the decision to discontinue one of the best pens on the market!!

very disappointed that Novo have discontinued such an innovative and useful device. I have used them for the last 5 years, my last one has just ‘died’ the battery has expired. I am mortified at now having to go back to using a Novo Pen 3 which is clumsy and most indiscrete if used in a public place like a restaurant. The Innovo device easily fits in a trouser pocket and can be quickly and discreetly used anywhere.

I do hope that they re-think this ludicrous decision!

The reason I still want the discontinued pen:
1. EASY to refill
b.New novo 3 is difficult for my hands/complicated as well
2. The digital indicator let me KNOW when to take the next injection.

For me, the change was a VERY BAD idea!!!
