just received my lev pens, oh boy!!!, but now that i examine them i clearly see i have absolutely on idea how to use them. they seem to require a special needle that attaches itself to the pen? i can't see the insulin to check for floaties...basically altho i have these instruction pamplet...i'm not at all sure how to use this thing.
help....?
 
pull off cap. at that end of pen, in middle of all that green is little grey circle. use regular insulin syringe, insert needle into little grey circle, draw insulin.

we've never checked for floaties in our lev pens. but then we toss after 6 or so weeks.
 
Yep, take the cap off just like if it were a pen you were going to write with. you'll uncover basically what is a skinny vial and you use it as a vial, inserting syringe into the end and withdrawing what you need, etc.....
 
there's not that much left in it after 6 weeks, usually around the 12-mark. dh draws out about 5 units at a time and shoot into sink b/c of those darned bubbles. (and when i did it while dh was away i probably shot away 20 units each draw!) doesn't cost us that much since her insurance reimburses 90% of the cost after $50 deductible each year.

but if you really want, i can send it.

wow choy-foong. I always shoot back into with lev. I do not waste a drop. but then again, I have no insurance. not worth sending that little bit. :-D
 
well with a simple phone call from jenn, OMG ohmygod_smile , now i get it!!! it's so easy. i thought the clear space in the pen was empty space with the insulin deeper in the pen. i had never seen clear insulin :lol:
thank you jenn for the call and making it so easy.
i'm mentally challenged enough to not read directions unless it is an absolute last resort...i've alway preferred to spend a frustrating amount of time trying to figure it out just looking at said object and calling friends for input. :lol: :lol: :lol:
am i the only 'written instructions' hater here?
 
Awesome! Did Tom get the lev today? I am so excited to get this working for him :mrgreen: Is he still a Hoover or has his appetite under control a bit better?
