I can only answer for the Pendiq 2.0, @MisterMints: it requires venting everytime (= priming), so the ventingbdose you do in the venting phase automatically discarded.
Here is an interesting Reddit review of the Pendiq 2.0:
A couple of things I see that are disappointing:
-
Bulky and heavy
-
Needs user’s manual at hand for use
-
Cannot inject less than 0.5 (the +/- 0.1 adjustability is above 0.5).
These look like heavy negatives for me.
It’ll be interesting to see how Novo Nordisk does it with their upcoming NovoPen 5 and NovoPen Echo Plus.
I believe that all pens with 0.5-unit dosing say that doses below 1.0 units are not reliably accurate.
Thanks @Michel that’s really helpful.
I’m currently using the NovoPens so looking forward to seeing what happens with the smart versions of these. Hopefully won’t be long until they are released!
@Jen, what I meant is that this pen advertizes +/-0.1, which is true, but only if you realize that you can only inject 0.5 or more. You cannot inject 0.1 for instance.
