You may have concerns about adding an injectable medicine to your daily routine. But it’s important to realize the positive effect it may have on the management of your diabetes.

Insulin pump
NovoLog® is approved for use in insulin pumps in children ages 2 and older with type 1 diabetes and adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. An insulin pump is a small, programmable, battery-operated device that delivers a steady, measured amount of insulin under your skin.
NovoLog® in an insulin pump offers:
- Heat stability at normal body temperatures (up to 98.6°F)
- Storage in the pump reservoir for up to 6 days before being changed
Novo Nordisk has used these pumps in various studies: Medtronic Paradigm® 513 and 712; MiniMed 508; and Disetronic® D-TRON® and H-TRON®. Before using a different insulin pump with NovoLog®, read the pump label to make sure the pump has been evaluated with NovoLog®.

If you use an insulin pump, it’s a good idea to have a backup source for insulin. Ask your diabetes care team if NovoLog® FlexPen® or NovoPen Echo® could be a good option for you.
