So, this is the guide for you. It’s a quick tutorial where I, up close, show how to change the cartridge and reload it with a new insulin cartridge, so you can be on your way to managing your blood sugars with your InPen.

Thank you so much for this! Each time I change the cartridge, I think I know what to do but inevitably get stuck and come to your video.

Thanks, so helpful. Times I still struggle slowly getting the hang of it.😊
Happy to help!
You're great. Thank you
Thanks
I have the blue in pen
Very informative. Have you ever had a problem with the Inpen where you have to prime it multiple time (more then 3) each time you use it? Sometimes I can barely see the drop of insulin
Yes, but only when I start a new cartridge and have dialed the screw back a bit too aggressively. If you experience that remember to adjust the "dose" to a "prime" in the app so it doesn't mess up your IOB calculations
Question how do I get the current glucose area to populate while using Dexcom g6?
Unfortunately, you can only get real-time blood sugar data with the Medtronic CGM. Dexcom is 2 hours behind
Never saw this 1 before. Q on the G6. When I remove my sensor, I get a red itchy spot from the tape. Is their anything to help relieve this? Thanks.
I use an adhesive remover to reduce the risk of skin irritation (check out my video on that). If that doesn’t help you might have a small allergic reaction to the adhesive. I’ve seen some people use Flonase under the patch (I know, it sounds weird) and there are also some other products available that you apply under that patch
@@DiabetesStrong Appreciate the info, I'll check it out.
What pen can I get for Lantus Solostar ?
InPen only works with rapid-acting (meantime) insulin
How long can we use one tube?
You’re supposed to dispose of it after 28 days but I’ve found it stays good longer
Does this work on all pens
It's only applicable for the InPen
That would be great, but my pen doesnt twist open. 😢
I can require a little bit of force but if the pen is defective you might want to call Medtronic, the manufacturer
Hindi me bataiye please
I’m sorry I can’t do that. This product isn’t available outside the US, I don’t think there’s anything but English and Spanish product explanations
