PREPARE FOR AN INJECTION
Before beginning, check the label on the insulin
pen to ensure you are using the correct insulin.
1
Take off the outer needle cap and keep it to remove the used
needle after your injection. Then take off the inner needle cap
and discard it. Hold the pen with the needle pointing upward.
Tap the reservoir gently so any air bubbles rise up to the
needle. Press the injection button all the way in. Check if
insulin comes out of the needle.
INJECT YOUR DOSE
Using the method your healthcare professional showed
you, insert the needle into the skin in either your upper
arm, abdomen (stomach area), or thigh (upper leg). Press
the injection button in all the way. Hold the button in that
position, slowly count to 10, then withdraw the needle.
SELECT YOUR DOSE
Be sure the dose window shows “0” following
the safety test. Select your required dose. If you
need a dose larger than 80 units, use 2 or more
injections. (This example shows 30 units.)
