As a father giving injections for the first time to an 8yr old girl. This is helpful. I watched how u added pressure and steady with the hand. 24 is more than I give. My heart goes out for all that have to adjust to this. Thank u.

Ty for still having this up! My girls father is diabetic and has an ulcer not healing. I take Ozempic 1x a wk and Basaglar 12mg 1x a day and I Just got a continuous monitor that I have on my arm. The BEST thing I ever did! So now, no more sore fingers etc. But ty for this! This even helps me. Bc sometimes I wonder if it's done bc I didn't even realize about the click! Or the angle! Gonna do that next time❤ !

Thanks! I'm about to start Ozempic, and I was nervous, but thanks to you and a few other youtubers, I'm gonna be ok 👌 thank you!

How do you reseal the needle part to keep it clean? And should we be disinfecting first with alcohol ??

[shoepm]

Yesterday after using pen, I forgot to keep it back in fridge. After 8 hrs I noticed that pen is still outside, should I reuse it or discard ?

[reuvengarcia]

I have watched several videos, unfortunately I heard many sermons about diabetes, and in the end the explanation was not clear. This video helped me understand and clarify all my doubts! Thanks a lot! It was what I really needed!

[camlinhnguyen]

Thank you so much for your video, first time with this needle and I’m so nervous but you make it easy for me ❤🙏

[Redb]

Awesome easy way to use thank you for sharing

[basmabahtyisrael]

Thanks for the memo. I just was prescribed this yesterday and waiting for the script. Never been on insulin before.

[paulomipatel]

Is my thigh supposed to start hurting after administering it? I am afraid i did not administered it properly because I don't think i felt the needle in it.

I have a question: I’ve been on Ozempic for 11 weeks now. My Doctor prescribed the 1st Ozempic pen, when we were suppose to bump up to the 2nd pen… I didn’t realize there were 3 different pens, so without realizing it, I picked it up from the psychiatrist. 😭 My Doctor wrote another prescription but now my insurance won’t cover the new prescription. 😢 I didn’t open it, but they didn’t take it back because it could have been tampered with once outside of pharmacy. I totally get it, and That’s okay, I don’t want to waste it either.

Anyway, I was told by the pharmacist that I can inject myself twice (when I’ve been reading it’s a once a week injection) and to make sure to alternate shot sights…

So question is: do I still need to shot myself in a different location..? Or, Can I just move it an inch or two over and give myself the other shot..?

I’ll give my pharmacist a call when they open. I’ll do it before I give myself my 12th week dose!! 😊 So far, with my experience, it’s been helping. I didn’t want rush on upping the dosage (because of the sad and negative stories I’ve heard) so I went ahead and did the 0.25 for 5 weeks, and 0.50 for 5 weeks. Last week, I did a 0.75 when I’m prescribed the 1ml now. I just want my body to adjust well to it.

*ohhh no I just injected mine but I didn't hold the button down while it was inserted in my stomach!!! I just pushed the button in once and let it go and then I held the needle in for 6 seconds.... Should I inject it again!??! It went to 0 but I wasn't holding the button down so I'm not sure now ahhh!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much!!!* 🙏🙏🙏
