Swift Advice

• Administer the insulin 15 minutes before or within 20 minutes after starting a meal.
• Opt for abdominal injection for faster absorption than other sites like the upper arms, thighs, or buttocks. After injection, avoid massaging the injection site.
• Rotate injection sites to prevent the development of hard lumps at a single location.
• Changing to another type or brand of insulin should be done under strict medical supervision, as it may necessitate a change in dosage.
• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) may occur when combining insulin with other antidiabetic medicines or alcohol or when delaying/skipping a meal. Carry a sugar source for immediate relief.
• Do not share your insulin device, even if the needle has been changed, as it can lead to severe infections.
• Opened vials/cartridges remain viable at room temperature for up to four weeks, while unopened vials should be refrigerated (2°C–8°C).
