[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2745210, member: 372207"] Very, very easy. The two halves of the pen simply screw apart, you throw in the penfill and put the pen back together until it clicks. Picture of pen and penfill with the plunger halfway down because I'm halfway through a cartridge but wanted to show you how simple it looks. When starting a new cartridge, dial up a couple of units and shoot in the air until insulin comes out. [ATTACH type="full"]71315[/ATTACH] Yes, the Novopen6 is a smart pen. But there is no need at all to use its smart functions, it simply means you can link it to your phone if you want to. No matter if you do or don't, dialling up your dose and injecting is exactly the same as with your old pen. I use a Novopen 5, no smart functions but I love the little display at the top telling me when I last dosed. Very useful if you often find yourself wondering if you already injected or not. Your pen should have the same. :) Yes, please do request a spare! Yes they will, no problem! You'll be fine dealing with the pens. And you'll learn how to dose with your new insulins, although this will take a while, in the end it should give you much more freedom and flexibility. :) Novopen 6 goes with Tresiba penfills, they're both made by NovoNordisk so no worries there. ;) [/QUOTE]
