Are insulin pens universal?

Insulin pens are not universal, and they are all insulin pens. Because of different manufacturers, the operating procedures, usage methods, functions, and storage requirements will be slightly different. In the instruction manual, the needle of the insulin pen is required to penetrate the skin vertically and completely before touching the thumb button. Afterwards, the thumb button should be pressed along the axis of the injection pen, and the thumb button should not be pressed obliquely.

In addition, except for insulin pens and cartridges, which must never be shared between patients, needles should not be shared. These three items must be dedicated to special personnel. Before injection, the air in the needle must be exhausted to ensure that at least one drop of liquid medicine hangs on the needle tip. The needle of the insulin pen should be discarded after use and must not be left on the insulin pen to prevent air Or other pollutants get into the pen core, or the accuracy of the dosage is affected due to drug leakage.
