Keep a personal injection log
If you have a smartphone, tablet, personal computer,
blood glucose monitor or another device that supports
Near Field Communication (NFC), you can easily transfer
your insulin dosing information from your pen to your
device. Just make sure to download a compatible app
or other software that can read and display
this information.
How to check your last dose

Make sure the dose counter shows “0” before you start.
Push the dose button back in
The dose memory will now show the details of your last dose.
Read your dose memory

52 minutes and 3 seconds ago.
Insert an insulin cartridge
Pull off the pen cap. Twist off the cartridge holder. The piston
rod may stick out of your pen. If so, push it in until it stops.
