Quick tips

Take it 15 minutes before a meal or within 20 minutes after starting a meal.
Injection below the skin of the abdomen results in faster absorption than other injection sites such as 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.
Change 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 on delaying/skipping a meal. Carry a sugar source with you for immediate relief.
Do not share your insulin device with other people, even if the needle has been changed. You may give other people a serious infection or get a serious infection 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).

Diabetes is a medical condition in which sugar, or glucose, levels build up in your bloodstream. There?s not enough insulin to move the sugar into your cells, which are where the sugar is used for energy. This causes your body to rely on alternative energy sources in your tissues, muscles, and organs. This is a chain reaction that can cause a variety of symptoms. Type 2 diabetes can develop slowly. The symptoms may be mild and easy to dismiss at first. The early symptoms may include: constant hunger a lack of energy fatigue weight loss excessive thirst frequent urination dry mouth itchy skin blurry visionDiet is an important tool to keep your heart healthy and blood sugar levels within a safe and healthy range. It doesn?t have to be complicated or unpleasant. The diet recommended for people with type 2 diabetes is the same diet just about everyone should follow. It boils down to a few key actions: Eat meals and snacks on schedule. Choose a variety of foods that are high in nutrition and low in empty calories. Be careful not to overeat.
