Before Injection
- You should carefully examine the purity, valence, registered
trademark, type, species (cattle, pig or human), method of manufacture
(recombinant human insulin, insulin extracted from animals). Any
of the above changes will lead to the adjustment of dosage. You
should strictly follow the advice of your doctor.
- You'd better check whether the cap of vial is well sealed before
use.
Regular Use
- You should examine regularly the blood glucose or urine glucose
and adjust the your insulin dose in time.
- Follow you doctor's suggestion and keep an extra supply of
insulin as well as a spare syringe and needle on hand.
- You'd better always carry candy or glucose tablets, because
slight or moderate hypoglycemia can be treated by food or drinks
that contain sugar.
- Any change of insulin application including dosage and types
should be made cautiously and only under instructions of the doctors.
