How to select the dose
How to do it
1. Dial your dose (This example shows a dose of 10 units)
2. If you don’t dial the right dose, you can dial back
up or down
—Dose cannot be dialed past the number of units left
in the pen
3. You cannot dial more than 80 units because the
pen automatically has a safety stop. If you need a
dose of more than 80 units you must give yourself
another injection
If you have enough insulin left in the pen, you can redial
the rest of your dose. If you don’t have enough insulin,
use a new pen
—You must attach a new needle and discard the one you
just used (See step 6 on page 8)
DOs and DON’Ts
DON’T force the dose selector when dialing your dose.
DON’T push the injection button while dialing your dose.
DON’T try to set the dose selector to half units or the
pen may jam.
What to do
Make sure the dose window is at “0” before
dialing your dose
Why? If the dose window is not at 0, you will inject
more insulin than you need. That can affect
your blood sugar level
Make sure to remove the protective seal
Check to see that you have enough insulin in the
pen for your dose. Try dialing your dose. If the pen
doesn’t let you dial your dose, then you don’t
have enough insulin left. Your dose cannot be
dialed past the number of units left in the pen
