Sorry, I know this is there on loads of the threads, but it's so hard to find something all in one place.

Good morning.

I managed to extract mine yesterday. I did it easily enough with by twisting the top of the pen as usual but with a large pair of grippy pliers while protecting the pen with fabric. This broke the mechanism. I was then able to load the pen as usual to 1 and had a full dose left.

I did have a spare small end needle as my supplier gives 5.

In advance I had bought these in case it didn't work:

The needles above are longer than the pen needles my supplier sends, so had I used them I would not have inserted them full length.

Hope that helps.

I bought those same needles and had no issue injecting. It was painless again as they are so fine.

I didn’t dare break the pen in case I lost it all. I just cleaned the pen head as usual, wiped the area I was going to inject and pierced the end of the pen with my syringe and sucked it out.

Flick the air out and prime it and got 3.75mg. Nice prep for moving up to my 5mg pen.
