    Since you had already took a first dose with this pen video example, you should mention that when the multi-dose pen is new, after installing needle #1, turn the dial just after zero (where a dotted line is shown), then hold the pen with needle pointing up, and press the injection button to confirm a drop of med comes out of the needle. Need only to be done once with each new multi-dose pen.

    I’ve been putting off trying it for MONTHS and was even going to ask if a nurse at the clinic could do my injections for me. Today I finally sat down and said just do it. When I tell you… I did not feel a THING. Not even a pinch!! I held it against my fat roll and pressed every so slightly and the needle just disappeared into my gut without any pain whatsoever. I had to double check that the needle had actually gotten into my skin. It was pressed flat against the abdomen roll, the flat part of the base against my stomach so the needle HAD to be through the skin all the way. That’s how much it didn’t hurt, not even a pinch like I said. Go for it!! It’s not going to be what you think!!

    • @greatunz67
      @greatunz67 Год назад +2

      The pen is pre-filled to the exact amount your presciption needs, nothing less, nothing more. When you are on the .25 dose, most prescriptions call for you to up that to .50 after 4 weeks. So it's 4 pins at .25, then your last two needles are .50, thus needing only six tips.

      Sorry to hear that you had trouble. Unfortunately, I can't give you medical advice via RUclips and you should check with your prescribing physician. It's not uncommon for people to have the same trouble and it could be a result of not holding down the button long enough or it could be as a result of the pen being jammed. The tricky part is that you really can't be sure how much medication was actually delivered today...

      While you can take your injection at any time and you don't need to time your injection around when you last had food, many of my patients take the injections right before bedtime if they are worried about the potential for nausea, etc.

    Do you need to prime the pen for each new needle? Or is the first time good for all the others? I read somewhere you should prime it for the air in each needle. Thank you.

    • @watkinsmetabolic
      @watkinsmetabolic  Год назад +4

      No, not each new needle. You just need to prime each new pen. Once the pen is primed, you're good until you need to start a new one. 👍🏻

    Good video. Thank you. The word capillary is pronounced in American parlance as "cap' illary," with the emphasis on the "cap." The British, however, say, "cap il' iary," with the emphais on the "il." You used the British pronunciation here, which I found interesting. My inference that Canada uses the British form of the word, which I did not know previously. Larry M. Goldstein

    Rybelsus not effective, I may have to switch to Ozempic. I think like taking blood glucose levels, I was quite apprehensive, but it’s no big deal now doing that. Hopefully when I do decide to switch, it’ll go smoothly like your instructions here. Thank You!

      While I can't give you specific medical advice via social media, most people stay at .5 for four weeks but it should always tailored for the specific patient. I suggest reaching out to your prescribing physician for specific advice. 🙂

    Can you tell me where we can order practice pens and house etc to teach my colleagues how to puncture? The box in which injections are done seems particularly useful to me, but also empty pens that we can fill with water, for example, to practice.

    • @watkinsmetabolic
      @watkinsmetabolic  Год назад +1

      I'm not aware of any practice pens that are refillable with water. Unfortunately, the demo pens are also not available at this time because of supply challenges. Injection box that you see in the video is available from the manufacturer of the medication, Novo Nordisk. Please feel free to share this video with your colleagues and patients as it details the correct injection technique.
