Why Does The Humalog Quikpen Value Not Return To Zero After Use?
I currently use the Humalog Quikpen for dispensing insulin before dinner. The pen keeps getting stuck and won t work anymore. It won t go back to zero after dispensing the dose, so that I am getting an unknown amount of insulin each time. I have had to throw away two pens that still had insulin in them and my current one is getting stuck as well. Cynthia

Hi dear
Never inject unknowns amount of insulin as it may cause life threatening hypoglycemia or inadequate blood sugar control.
Kindly replace the equipment or use manual syringes.
Take care.Thank you.
