Since moving onto the new pens I am finding that there is NOT a fourth dose in it . Today I filmed it and there were only 20 clicks left. Is anyone else having this issue ? I already e mailed them and they sent me a weird video which did not help. Anyone else?

How much can you get out with a syringe?

Not had any issues with the new pens. Did my fourth dose on Friday from one with no issue. It turned out to the 1 position as normal.

It's empty now as I injected the twenty clicks. I don't prime pen so not wasting any. When I start the new one I am going to photo and date each one .

I've had 4 doses out of my new pens with no problem.

You may have already had the 4 doses and miscalculated the weeks . I have definitely done that before.

I'm thinking that is a distinct possibility! I'm going to photo and mark up pics and mark on pen. Maybe I'm just being a dafty !

Ive seen this a few times.. and everytime they come back and say oh yeah I did have 4..

Try remember when u opened the pen, the date on the box give you some help.. did u open straight away? A week later etc?? .

Only thing I find with the new pens is the plunger is harder to push

If you took first dose day 1, day 8 is 2nd dose, day 15 is 3rd dose and it's actually 3 weeks later day 22 when you take your fourth dose which can confuse a lot of people as it only looks like 3 weeks has passed but by time your due your next new pen and dose a full 4 weeks has passed. If you don't already, I'd recommend using shotsy app, just the free version to log your doses.

Thank you.

I would second the suggestion of using shotsy. The free version is enough to keep track of the dose amount and injection site.

I think even on the new pens there are about 20 clicks left after four doses.

Fuck that, I've divided the total amount by four and take it with an insulin syringe.

I tend to draw out whatever is left then top it up to a full dose with the new pen.

I'm going to be very particular with my new pen and keep note! Interesting @LividRoasting. This week I used left overs from new pens.
