Frequently asked questions
Who can use an insulin pen?
Yes, it is used to manage type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In diabetes mellitus type 1, the body does not make enough insulin to control blood sugar levels. In diabetes mellitus type 2, either the body stops producing enough insulin or there is resistance to the action of insulin, leading to large amounts of insulin production.
How to avoid air bubbles in the cartridge?
The presence of air bubbles can affect the amount of insulin delivered. Ensure you remove the air bubbles by holding the pen with the needle end pointing straight up. Tap the cartridge holder gently with the finger to raise any air bubbles to the top of the insulin cartridge. There may be a few small air bubbles still seen, which will not affect your dose. With the needle pointing upwards, press the dose button in until it stops. The dose window should show '0'. You should see 2-3 drops of insulin come out of the needle tip. Priming is complete when 2-3 drops of insulin appear at the needle tip. If no insulin comes, repeat the step up to a maximum of five times until 2-3 drops of insulin are visible.
Why can it take several attempts at priming before seeing a drop of insulin with a new cartridge?
There may be a slight gap between the plunger rod and the plunger stopper. Repeating the priming steps will move the plunger rod into contact with the cartridge plunger stopper, which will push the cartridge plunger stopper forward, forcing insulin to flow through the needle.
