Hi NovoPen 6 users,

I've just started using these pens and use them for NovoRapid and Levemir.

I have them hooked up to my phone and use LibreLink, which I already use for my Freestyle Libre.

Its only day 2 so getting used to things but have a question.

Before injecting, I squirt 2 units to make sure everything is working, as per the instructions but these 2 units show up on the LibreLink app. Not a huge problem but wondered if this is expected or should I be doing something different?

Regards

Chris

The “air shot?” Yes. Both register on Librelink from the pen. (Amended for clarity.) air shot & dosage.(Seemingly at the same time. As you would before a dose.)
I airshoot 2U too..

You can edit the doses, making them as "flow check" rather than "dose". Depends how much work you think it's worth putting in, I guess. I don't bother because usually (when I look at all) I'm just looking at the past day or two.

I never knew this. Just tell nurse it’s an “Airshot.” Just the same as “the meter said, on a prolonged hypo.”

Appreciate the tip. Will take a look.
 
It t is a bit "complicated." But I'll get my head round it. Just taken a look.
Hi, I went into this pen a couple of months ago and had the same issue. Luckily someone on here was on hand to help. In your libre app you can go on the 2 airships and it gives you the option to edit it, drop down bar comes up and you can click flow check. Hope that makes sense.

Think I’ve sussed it. I was ready with the questions by saying, “don’t worry about one of them. It’s an Airshot.)
I already have an answer in comments when there is a delay in recovery from a hypo. “The meter actually says this here.”
