HOW TO REMOVE FROM THE PEN?

Place the outer needle shield on a table with the opening pointing up. Carefully insert the pen needle into the opening of the shield, without holding onto shield, and push down firmly or lay the needle on the table and "scoop" it up. Grip the shield and use it to unscrew the pen needle. Dispose of needle properly. If you have a home sharps container, you can insert the pen into the pen needle port. Unscrew the needle, it will drop safely into the home sharps container.

General questions

WHY CAN'T I LEAVE THE PEN NEEDLE ON THE PEN FOR FUTURE USE?

When you go from a warm to cold place, the insulin shrinks and air enters the insulin cartridge through the needle. When extra air is in the insulin cartridge, your dose won't be right. When you go from a cold to warm place the insulin swells and leaks out through the needle. If you use NPH or 70/30, fluid may leak out while particles stay in. This will change the strength of your insulin.

Test Strips and control tests

What test strips are used with the Accu-Chek Guide meter?

The Accu-Chek Guide system uses Accu-Chek Guide test strips, which offer an easy-edge dosing area and accurate results with just a small drop of blood. In addition, they come in a spill-resistant SmartPack vial that makes it easy to remove just one strip at a time. The Accu-Chek Guide meter is not compatible with other Accu-Chek test strips.
