Some pens are super and others I wonder if they are not sending the amount of insulin I have programmed it to send. Some pens I consistently see high Blood Sugar readings. I am experimenting with changing the pen to see if that makes a difference.

We are experiencing difficulty having confidence with the pen. We have watched the "how to video" to be sure we are doing it correctly. The pen seldom if ever reaches zero with a single push of the button (usually 2-3 times). We always do the air shot to be sure the tip is not clogged! Is any one else having this issue? We simply can't be sure how much insulin has been given!

The NovoLog FlexPen is very easy to use and convenient, especially when I'm away from home. It works quickly, and overall, I feel much more in control of my blood sugar. It's much better than the pills that I had used for years.

I didn't give it the overall 5 stars because I'm not sure if it is in fact the Novolog that is working in my case or the combination that I also take Levemir insulin and the drug Metformin. My AIC has also dropped from 12 to 6.8. I do find it annoying in any case to have to prepare and take the drug before I put any food into my mouth. But that, of course, isn't the drugs fault, it' ...

I didn't give it the overall 5 stars because I'm not sure if it is in fact the Novolog that is working in my case or the combination that I also take Levemir insulin and the drug Metformin. My AIC has also dropped from 12 to 6.8. I do find it annoying in any case to have to prepare and take the drug before I put any food into my mouth. But that, of course, isn't the drugs fault, it's the disease's fault. In any case, it does seem to work in keeping my sugar level down. I just need to work on an exercise program that is right for me and get my weight down. I do feel as if I'm hungry most of the day and turning away from food and snacks almost seems impossible. I also have to find a schedule that fits me during my work hours when I can administer the drug without perfroming blood tests and having to inject it in front of co-workers. I do like the convenience of using the pen compared to having the vile of insulin and the syringe with a much longer needle. I'm not able to carry alcohol with me at my work place nor do I believe we have alcohol swabs here. So, I kind of have to rely on everything hopefully being pre-sterilized before I inject the insulin. The situation is not 100% comfortable with me but it's getting better over time.
