[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2696805, member: 527103"] Yes. When using it as a pen, you screw on a needle which temporarily pierces the membrane. This is exactly the same with a cartridge. When extracting insulin out of a cartridge for a pump, the syringe pierces the membrane. If you want to get it out of a pen, you do the same thing. Not sure why it would be messy. Although it might be a bit awkward to hold the pen and syringe. Do you have single use pens as your pump back up? If so, it might be worth seeing if you can swap to reusable pens as the cartridges take up far less space in your fridge. [/QUOTE]
