Inject your dose
•
Check the name and colour
of the cartridge to make sure that
it contains the type of insulin you need. If you take a wrong type
of insulin, your blood sugar level may get too high or too low.
•
Insert the needle into your skin
as your doctor or nurse has
shown you.
• Make sure you can see the dose counter.
•
Press the dose button
until the dose counter shows “0”. The
“0” must line up with the dose pointer. You may then hear or
feel a click.
•
Keep the needle in your skin after
the dose counter has
returned to “0” and
count slowly to 6
.
If the needle is removed earlier, you may see a squirt of insulin
coming from the needle tip. If so, the full dose will not be
delivered, and you should increase the frequency of checking your
blood sugar levels.
