• Injection below the skin of the abdomen results in faster absorption than other injection sites, such as the skin of the upper arms, thighs, or buttocks. After injection, the site of injection should not be massaged.
• Injection sites must be rotated to prevent hard lumps from developing at one site.
• Changing to another type or brand of insulin should be done under strict medical supervision, as it may require a change in dosage.
• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) may occur when taken along with other antidiabetic medicines, alcohol, or when delaying/skipping a meal. Carry a sugar source with you for immediate relief.
• Do not share your insulin device with others, even if the needle has been changed. You may give other people a serious infection or get it from them.
• Opened vials/cartridges stay good at room temperature for up to 4 weeks, while unopened vials must be placed in the refrigerator (2°C–8°C).
