Toujeo comes only in a special SoloStar pen that actually delivers 1/3 of a unit with each click. In fact, the 450 “unit” pen actually only holds 1.5 mL of fluid, exactly half the volume of the pens we are used to. Basically, the new pen has been recalibrated to deliver smaller doses.

OK, it’s not the 2/3 reduction you’d expect in a U-300 insulin, but it’s not chump change, either. Of course, if your pen conked out, you’d need to keep your wits about you if you used a U-100 insulin syringe to suck out an emergency dose. Remember the “units” on the Toujeo pen are smoke and mirrors.
