Information needed: pen purchase

I need to use a pen with a memory and now I cannot purchase the Novo Innovo brand the only one I can find is the Lily Humapen memoir. problem...not available in Australia ( apparently a "marketing" decision").
Can anyone tell me where I can order either online (from anywhere) or in person in San Francisco (as I will be there in August).

I am aware that I may have to change my brand of insulin.

Please help

I understand where you’re coming from, however I think it’s less of a "need" and more of a nicety, not sure I would change insulin’s over it. HumaPen Memoir is the only pen I know with a memory but I am not sure how reliable it is, might be worth searching this forum to see what people think of it.

Do NOT get the Humapen Memoir unless you never plan on taking it anywhere. As per Lilly (and my own experience) it MUST remain at room temperature or it WILL malfunction. After trying two of them, I sent mine back to Lilly.
