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. The products affected are the NovoMix 30 Flexpen 100U/ml pre-filled pen and the Novomix 30 Penfill 100U/ml cartridge.

They are used mainly by children with type 1 diabetes, to regulate blood-glucose levels, although some people with type 2 diabetes also use the pens. The MHRA warning has also been circulated
