Drug Interactions
- Oral Diabetes Medicines: Combining with other sugar lowering drugs can increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
- Beta Blockers: These can hide the warning signs of low blood sugar like a fast heartbeat.
- Corticosteroids: Steroid use tends to raise blood sugar and may reduce how well insulin works.
- Alcohol: Drinking alcohol can increase the risk of a sudden and severe sugar drop.
Risks and warnings
- Hypoglycemia: Low blood sugar can cause shakiness, sweating and confusion, so keep a fast acting sugar source nearby.
- Missed Meals: Skipping food after a dose raises the risk of a dangerous sugar drop.
- Injection Site Reactions: Redness, swelling or thickened skin can develop with repeated injections at the same spot.
- Illness Or Surgery: Blood sugar needs may change during infection, fever or surgery, so dose adjustment may be required.
- Never Freeze: A frozen or overheated pen loses its effect and should be discarded.
- Pregnancy And Breastfeeding: Insulin needs shift during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so close medical supervision is important.
