'Push to Know'
Say you got busy and can't remember if you took your insulin at lunch. Perhaps you want to see how much insulin you last injected? Or perhaps you want to record this information later in your logbook? With HumaPen MEMOIR, it's as easy as 'push to know.' You simply push the dose knob to see your last 16 doses, including priming doses.
HumaPen MEMOIR offers many of the same useful features as the Prefilled Pen. It is simple to dial up and back, has audible clicks, and a short thumb reach at high doses. HumaPen MEMOIR is easy to load with Humalog 3mL cartridges, easy to dose, and easy to learn and use for experienced pen users.
Before use, patients are advised to carefully read the User Manual provided with the Pen and the Patient Information provided with the Humalog insulin cartridges.
Humalog is available by prescription only. See Humalog Patient Information for important facts about this product.
