Step 11:
•
Turn the Dose Knob to select the number of
units you need to inject. The Dose Indicator
should line up with your dose.
-
The Pen dials 1 unit at a time.
-
The Dose Knob clicks as you turn it.
-
Do not
dial your dose by counting the
clicks . You may dial the wrong dose.
This may lead to you getting too much
insulin or not enough insulin.
-
The dose can be corrected by turning
the Dose Knob in either direction until
the correct dose lines up with the Dose
Indicator.
-
The
even
numbers (for example, 12)
are printed on the dial.
-
The
odd
numbers, (for example, 25)
after the number 1, are shown as full
lines.
•
Always check the number in the Dose
Window to make sure you have dialed
the correct dose.
(Example: 12 units shown
in the Dose Window)
(Example: 25 units shown
in the Dose Window)
•
The Pen will not let you dial more than the number of units left in the Pen.
•
If you need to inject more than the number of units left in the Pen, you may either:
-
inject the amount left in your Pen and then use a new Pen to give the rest of your dose,
or
-
get a new Pen and inject the full dose.
•
It is normal to see a small amount of insulin left in the Pen that you can not inject.
