Unopened pens can be stored in the refrigerator until you are ready to use them. Most insulin pens can be opened and kept at room temperature. Store your pen in a cool, dry place. Do not keep your pen in direct sunlight or in your car.

Priming your Pen means removing the air from the Needle and Cartridge that may collect during normal use and ensures that the Pen is working correctly. If you do not prime before each injection, you may get too much or too little insulin. Step 6: To prime your Pen, turn the Dose Knob to select 2 units.

Insulin pens do not eliminate your need to poke yourself with a needle. The amount of total insulin units in the cartridges vary as well. The pens come in two basic forms: disposable and reusable. A disposable insulin pen contains a prefilled cartridge, and the entire pen is thrown away when the cartridge is empty.
