Ok, I watched the tutorial at their website and they say to turn the knob away from you after you are done with your injection. I was doing it that way originally but it was too hard to turn the knob...
Thanks, believe it or not, I watched the vid before I started using the pen and that part wasn't covered. I have a friend on it as well but I never thought to ask that question. It arose when I went...
Ok, After inecting, I leave the knob in place and then when I get ready to inect again, just pull the knob out, put the needle in and press? I have been injecting, pulling the needle out, turning the...
Hi Tutorgirl, Thanks for the reply. I didn't prime the pen at first, I just started using it and I turn it everytime. I have been violently ill twice since I started on it 2 months ago and I really...

If you drink too much of it, your skin will turn orange like that gross guy on the juicer commercials. /community/emoticons/redface.gif The smiley looks more orange than red....
Robert is what we teasingly call a " serial tester ". He takes no meds and his numbers aren't even borderline diabetic. He drank a [b]QUART of Carrot Juice, (albiet not really high on the GI index,...
I think he is right to test like that to find out how high the spikes are after he eats something questionable. It's the spikes that hurt you. I'm type 2 dx'd 2 years ago and I went through a phase...
