FAQs

How do I choose the correct injection site?

Consult with your healthcare provider. Common injection sites include the abdomen, thighs, upper arms, and buttocks. Rotate sites to prevent lipohypertrophy.

What is the correct injection angle?

The injection angle depends on the needle length and the amount of subcutaneous fat. Your healthcare provider will guide you on the proper technique.

How should I dispose of used syringes?

Immediately dispose of used syringes in a sharps container. Never recap the needle.

Can I reuse the syringe?

No, this syringe is designed for single use only. Reusing syringes can lead to infection and inaccurate dosing.

How should I store my insulin?

Follow the insulin manufacturer's instructions for storage. Typically, unopened insulin should be stored in the refrigerator, while insulin in use can be stored at room temperature for a specified period. Never freeze insulin.

What should I do if I miss my dose?

Contact your healthcare provider or follow the instructions provided by your diabetes care team for guidance on how to proceed. Do not double your dose.

Where can I find more information?

Consult with your healthcare provider or visit the manufacturer's website for more detailed information and educational resources.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty drawing up the correct dose.

Ensure the needle is properly inserted into the insulin vial and that you are drawing the insulin slowly and accurately. Check for air bubbles in the syringe and remove them by tapping the syringe and pushing the plunger up.

Pain or discomfort during injection.

Ensure the needle is inserted at the correct angle and depth for the injection site. Change injection sites to avoid repeated injections in the same area. Consider using an ice pack on the injection site before injection for added comfort.

Leakage of insulin after injection.

Ensure that the needle remains in place for a few seconds after injection to allow the full dose to be delivered. Check for any damage or defects in the syringe.
