Preparing your Pen
• Wash your hands with soap and water.
• Check your Pen to make sure you are taking the right type of insulin. This is especially
important if you use more than 1 type of insulin.
• Do not use your Pen past the expiration date printed on the Label or for more than 28 days
after you first start using the Pen.
• Always use a new needle for each injection to help prevent infections and blocked
needles. Do not reuse or share your needles with other people. You may give other
people a serious infection or get a serious infection from them.
Step 1:
• Pull the Pen Cap straight off.
- Do not remove the Pen Label.
• Wipe the Rubber Seal with an alcohol swab.
Step 2:
• Check the liquid in the Pen.
HUMALOG should look clear and colorless.
Do not use if it is cloudy, colored, or has
particles or clumps in it.
Step 3:
• Select a new Needle.
• Pull off the Paper Tab from the Outer
Needle Shield.
Step 4:
• Push the capped Needle straight onto the
Pen and twist the Needle on until it is tight.
