INJECT YOUR
DOSE
Insulin keeps coming out for a short while
after you have pressed the injection button in,
so keep it pressed for 10 seconds before
you withdraw the needle from your skin to
make sure you get your full dose.
Use the injection method you learned from
your treating healthcare professional.
1. Lightly pinch a fold of skin and insert the
needle straight into the pinched skin.
2. Deliver the dose by pressing the injection
button all the way in. The number in the dose
window will return to “0” as you inject.
3. Keep the injection button pressed in and
slowly count to 10. Then withdraw the
needle from the skin.
