If you need a dose of more than 60 units, you will need to
split your dose into two
injections.
The pen will only inject a maximum of 60 units at a time.
Be extra careful to work out your correct dose
if you split it into two injections.
If you split your dose into two injections, the dose memory will only save information about the
second injection.
Example
If you need to inject 90 units:
Select the first dose of
60 units.
Inject the 60 units.
To get your full dose of 90 units,
you need to inject 30 more units.
Select the second dose of
30 units.
Inject the 30 units.
You will now have injected the full dose of 90 units.
If you need more units than you have left in the insulin cartridge, you can
split your dose
between two cartridges.
Be extra careful to work out your correct dose
if you split it into two injections. If you are
unsure, inject the full dose with a new cartridge.
If you split your dose into two injections, the dose memory will only save information about the
second injection.
Find out exactly how much insulin is left and make a note of it.
Turn the dose button
until it stops.
The dose counter then shows you the number of units left in the cartridge.
Inject all the insulin left in the cartridge.
Use the dose memory to
double-check the injection you just made.
Work out how
many more units you need to complete your dose.
Remove the used cartridge.
Insert and prepare a new cartridge for injection.
Test the insulin flow.
Select and inject the rest of your dose with the new cartridge.
