DOUBLE SHOT...help
I mentioned yesterday that i did my shot on friday and i still am not seeing no red blotch...like i always see,,,,ive done lots of these shots and ive never had this happen...like i said before...there seemed like more that usual dribble from the needle tip when i attache it to the redipen...im thinking the pen maybe malfunctoned ...my question is, should i do the extra shot i have a back up... ,just to make sure im getting fridays shot...has this happened to anyone, and i wonder if i do a double shot will it hurt me in anyway.....this is bugging me
Its hard to say how much dribbled out ...just seemed a bit more that usual...not a whole lot....its s tough call..my nurse is not in today...ill call her tuesday...i should relax like "can do" says....it this happens again...and im not sure....ill ditch the pen and use the back up
i dont shake it after the mix...it does say tho to gentlty turn over a few times...i wonder if you are slow to attach the needle to the pen....will the peg just keep primimg out...seems like you have to fast to get that needle screwed on...AWWWW....im ok
I think you should trust the expert on this. I'm sure can-do has more experience than the NP about the redipen.
Anyway, you will soon feel whacked over the head and you'll know that stuff is working.

After opening redipen, sit in slot.Wash hands first.Slot.You know how to push till you hear that click.Dribble will come out because of air.Mine came with two alcohol swabs.Instructions states after applying needle, wipe off tip of redipen.
Put needle on till you hear another click.After click, screw needle on.Wait five seconds, pick up and turn up and down, twice, NOT shaking.
Alcohol swab area, remove tip off the needle.Pinch skin, insert needle, let skin go slowly,push meds in, slowly.
After your sure redipen is empty,let needle sit in skin for the count of ten to be sure.
Remove,done, discard in your box.Clean up your mess.Pat yourself on back.Mine dripped one drop last Friday.It's ok.I think with you feeling it you got your dosage...
Good Luck,
Tammy
