Always inject by pressing the dose button. Do not turn it.
If you turn it, you will
not
inject insulin.
Always watch the dose counter to know how many units
you inject.
Do not count the pen clicks. The dose counter will show the exact
number of units.
If the dose button stops
before the dose counter shows ”0”,
the needle may be blocked. Make a note of the number of units
shown in the dose counter. Turn the dose counter back to “0”
and replace the needle with a new one. Test the insulin flow. Then
inject the number of units that you made a note of. Check your
blood sugar level to make sure you have received the correct dose.
You may see a drop of insulin at the needle tip after injecting. This
is normal and does not affect your dose.
