@njx58 I am doing it correctly. I thought priming mode WAS setting it to 80.

@alidamc "Priming" just means you release the first dose on a new pen without injecting it. Here's the process for a new pen. Apologies if this seems ridiculously detailed, but I want to make sure that we're all clear on what is happening with your pen. 🙂

1. Put a new needle on the pen.
2. Pen says zero. Turn it to 80 (which is the maximum dose)
3. Press the button to release the first dose. (I used to do it over the sink just in case.)
4. Pen says zero again. Turn it to 80 again.
5. Give yourself the injection.

Repeat 1,2,5 every day.
