1
Check that the dial-a-dose
selector is set to zero. If not,
follow the instructions on
the next page. Turn the
dial-a-dose selector until
you see the correct number
of units in the dose
indicator window.
DO NOT use the clicking
sounds as a guide for
selecting your dose.
The NovoPen 3 can deliver from 2 to 70 units of insulin,
in 1-unit increments.
If you dial more than your dose, DO NOT turn
the dial back to zero (0). If you do, the extra insulin
will squirt out of the needle. For instructions on how to
reset the dose to zero (0) so you can start again, see the
next page.
