HUMULIN 70/30. You can give yourself more than 1 dose from the Pen. Each turn (click) of the
Dose Knob dials 1 unit of insulin. You can give from 1 to 60 units in a single injection. If your
dose is more than 60 units, you will need to give yourself more than 1 injection. The
Plunger only moves a little with each injection, and you may not notice that it moves. The Plunger
will only reach the end of the cartridge when you have used all 300 units in the Pen.
People who are blind or have vision problems should not use the Pen without help from a
person trained to use the Pen.
