not pull the needle out again until 5
seconds have passed to ensure you

Please note: the pen has not been properly
primed if only a few drops of insulin can be
seen.
Advice for insulin suspensions: roll the pen
gently 10 times and then tilt it 10 times so
that the insulin looks evenly mixed.
This brief account is just an overview. You still need to read the instructions for use carefully which are enclosed with your pen and the insulin cartridges.
