Priming your HUMALOG KwikPen:
Prime before each injection. Priming ensures the Pen is ready to dose and

removes air that may collect in the cartridge during normal use. If you do not prime
before each injection, you may get too much or too little insulin.

Step 5:

Turn the Dose Knob to select 2 units.

Step 6:

Hold your Pen with the Needle pointing
up. Tap the Cartridge Holder gently to
collect air bubbles at the top.
