•
Press and hold down the dose button until the dose counter shows “0” (See Figure O).
 
o The “0” must line up with the dose pointer. You may then hear or feel a click.
 
•
Keep the needle in your skin after the dose counter has returned to “0” and slowly count to 6 (See Figure P).
 
o When the dose counter returns to “0”, you will not get your full dose until 6 seconds later.
 
o If the needle is removed before you count to 6, you may see a stream of insulin coming from the
 
needle tip.
 
o If you see a stream of insulin coming from the needle tip you will not get your full dose. If this happens you
 
should check your blood sugar levels more often because you may need more insulin.
 
Step 14:

•
Pull the needle out of your skin (See Figure Q).
 
o If you see blood after you take the needle out of your skin, press the injection site lightly with a piece of gauze or an alcohol swab. Do not rub the area.
 
Step 15:

•
Carefully remove the needle from the Pen and throw it away (See Figure R).
 
o Do not recap the needle. Recapping the needle can lead to needle stick injury.
 
•
If you do not have a sharps container, carefully slip the needle into the outer needle cap (See Figure S). Safely remove the needle and throw it away as soon as you can.
 
o
Do not store the Pen with the needle attached. Storing without the needle attached helps prevent leaking, blocking of the needle, and air from entering the Pen.
Step 16:

•
Replace the Pen cap by pushing it straight on (See Figure T).
 
After your injection:

•
Put your used TRESIBA FlexTouch Pen and needles in a FDA-cleared sharps disposal container right away after use. Do not throw away (dispose of) loose needles and Pens in your household trash.
•
If you do not have a FDA-cleared sharps disposal container, you may use a household container that is:
•
made of a heavy-duty plastic
•
can be closed with a tight-fitting, puncture-resistant lid, without sharps being able to come out
•
upright and stable during use
•
leak-resistant
•
properly labeled to warn of hazardous waste inside the container
•
When your sharps disposal container is almost full, you will need to follow your community guidelines for the right way to dispose of your sharps disposal container. There may be state or local laws about how you should throw away used needles and syringes. Do not reuse or share needles or syringes with another person. For more information about the safe sharps disposal, and for specific information about sharps disposal in the state that you live in, go to the FDA’s website at: http://www.fda.gov/safesharpsdisposal.
•
Do not dispose of your used sharps disposal container in your household trash unless your community guidelines permit this. Do not recycle your used sharps disposal container.
