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

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.

button all the way in. The number in the dose
window will return to “0” as you inject.

slowly count to 10. Then withdraw the
