Re: here is a flex pen q for you.

Gees, Mark! You're kidding, right? You actually log each use of your pen?

There's a word for people like you!!

I'd say, if you have 7 clicks remaining, you've got 7 units left. I use my pens

down to the last click (well, I'll throw away 1, or 2 units, but no more than

that). And I get the dose I expected.

here is a flex pen q for you.

my records show my flex pen is empty or should be if there is actually 300

units like they say. my pen still has 7 clicks left. now should I assume it is

empty and pitch it or could it actually be there is seven more units in the pen?

can't stand the thought of waste my self. every unit I get, is one less unit I

got to pay for in the long run. just goes all over me to think I might throw

away seven more units. seems like this happens with all my flex pens so far.

seems like when my records show my pen should be empty, there is still seven or

five clicks left. now it could be possible that I didn't use exactly the amount

I should have in day's gone by, but I would have to make a mistake in order for

this to happen and I don't make mistakes! one time I thought I may have been

wrong, but I was mistaking instead.

Well do to the fact my dose was always changing there for 3 months, I found

it was very helpful to keep track daily so I would always know where the pen was

in units remaining. not going to pitch out any insulin if I can help it though.

was going to pitch it in the trash and start my last 70 30 novelog mix flex pen,

but if you say those extra clicks means more insulin? well not I going to argue

with the expert who should know. wonder if it is bad for a person though if they

thought the pen had insulin left in it and they was only actually sticking them

self with nothing more then air. I wouldn't think it would hurt. well of course

your sugar may not go down as it should, but other then that it should be ok. I

never tried it on a new pen, but will it actually click out say 50 or 100 clicks

before it stops? I know it won't come out for all 300 cause the pen isn't as

long as a yard stick!
