| Did the pen fail mechanically, or did the insulin go off and stop working?
If it was the insulin that went bad I don't suppose you checked it when you flew to your destination? Insulin can freeze when it is stored under the plane in the checked luggage, and there goes your insulin. Or if you carried it with you, did you go to places with temperatures that were very different from what you're used to?
If it was the actual pens that stopped working, that seems like horribly bad luck to me. I've never had a pen stop working on me. I do however always have at least one syringe with me, because I need it to take my lantus. You should bring a few syringes whenever you're going to be away for a few days.
Definitely write to Novo nordisk, I think they would be interested to find out what happened so they can prevent it for other people.
