insulin
pen. Lantus

is easy to use and easy to inject.
This quick reference guide is a short version of the
instruction leaflet. It is designed to help make it easier to
learn the steps.
Reading this guide will help to make sure that you inject the
right amount of insulin every time. Otherwise, you may get
too little or too much insulin, and that can affect your blood
sugar levels.
• If you are using a new or unopened pen, remember to
take it out of the refrigerator 1 to 2 hours before using it.
There is less discomfort when you inject your insulin if it
is at room temperature
• Do not use the pen past the expiration date on the box
These instructions are supplied as a guide only. Read the
full instruction leaflet accompanying the pen before you

an accurate dose each time, follow all steps in the leaflet.
