Novolin 70/30 FlexPen

Novolin 70/30 FlexPen is a pre-filled insulin pen that provides a fixed combination of insulin for patients with diabetes. The 70/30 mix combines 70% NPH insulin (a long-acting insulin) with 30% regular insulin (a short-acting insulin), providing both immediate and extended blood sugar control. This easy-to-use pen is designed for convenience, allowing patients to inject insulin quickly and precisely, helping them to manage their diabetes more effectively and improve their quality of life.

Key Features:

This mix provides both rapid insulin action to control blood sugar after meals and long-lasting insulin effects for overnight or between meals.
  
  

• Convenient, Pre-filled Pen: The FlexPen is a pre-filled insulin pen that eliminates the need for vial and syringe use, making it a more convenient and portable option for insulin delivery.

• User-Friendly Design: With its ergonomic, easy-to-hold design, the FlexPen is ideal for those who need a reliable insulin delivery option. The pen is designed for one-handed operation, which makes it easy to use and administer insulin without any fuss. The pen's design also helps reduce injection site discomfort.
  
  

• Convenient and Discreet: The compact and discreet design of the FlexPen makes it easy to carry with you throughout the day, whether you're at home, at work, or on the go. The pen provides a convenient solution for those who need regular insulin injections as part of their diabetes management plan.

How It Works:

1. Prepare the Pen: Remove the cap from the Novolin 70/30 FlexPen and inspect the insulin. Roll the pen gently between your hands to mix the insulin (as it is a suspension, the insulin should appear cloudy after mixing). Attach a new needle to the pen.
   
   

2. Prime the Pen: Before the first use, prime the pen to ensure proper insulin flow. Dial the dose to 2 units, hold the pen with the needle pointing up, and press the injection button until insulin appears at the needle tip.
   
   

3. Set the Dose: Dial the pen to the desired dose (measured in units). Ensure the dose setting is correct before proceeding.
   
   

4. Administer the Injection: Clean the injection site with an alcohol wipe, insert the needle, and push the injection button until the dose has been delivered. Keep the needle in place for about 10 seconds to ensure all the insulin is injected.
   
   

5. Dispose of the Needle Safely: After injection, remove the needle and dispose of it properly in a sharps container. Place the pen cap back on the FlexPen, and store the pen according to the manufacturer's instructions.
