The drug should always remain clear and colorless.
Do not use the drug if a precipitate appears in the solution.
On the background of insulin therapy, nare permanentth level control blood glucose.
Causes hypoglycemia In addition to an overdose of insulin, there may be: drug substitution, skipping meals, vomiting, diarrhea, increased physical activity, diseases that reduce the need for insulin (liver and kidney dysfunction, hypofunction of the adrenal cortex, pituitary gland or thyroid gland), injection site change, and interaction with other drugs.
Incorrect dosing or breaks in the introduction of insulin can lead to hyperglycemia. Usually the first symptoms of hyperglycemia develop gradually, over a period of several hours or days. They include the appearance of thirst, increased urination, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, redness and dryness of the skin, dry mouth, loss of appetite.
The dose of insulin must be corrected in case of thyroid dysfunction, Addison's disease, hypopituitarism, liver and kidney dysfunction and diabetes mellitus in persons over 65 years of age.
Correction of the dose of insulin may also be required if the patient increases the intensity of physical activity or changes the habitual diet.
Concomitant diseases, especially infections and conditions accompanied by fever, increase the need for insulin.
The transition from one type of insulin to another should be carried out under the control of blood glucose levels.
The drug lowers tolerance to alcohol.
Instructions to be given to the patient
The technique of injection with the use of insulin in vials
If the patient uses only one type of insulin
1. Disinfect the rubber membrane on the vial.
2. Insert the air in the syringe in the amount corresponding to the required dose of insulin. Insert air into the vial with insulin.
3. Turn the bottle with the syringe upside down and type the desired dose of insulin into the syringe. Remove the needle from the vial and remove air from the syringe. Check the correctness of the dose of insulin.
4. Immediately inject.
If the patient needs to mix two types of insulin
1. Disinfect the rubber membranes on the vials.
2. Directly before typing, roll a vial of long-acting insulin ("cloudy") between the palms until the insulin becomes evenly white and cloudy.
3.Type in the syringe air in an amount corresponding to the dose of "turbid" insulin. Enter the air into the bottle with a "cloudy" insulin and remove the needle from the bottle.
4. Insert the air in the syringe in the amount corresponding to the dose of insulin of short action ("transparent"). Insert air into the bottle with "transparent" insulin. Turn the bottle with the syringe upside down and type the desired dose of "transparent" insulin. Remove the needle and remove air from the syringe. Check the correctness of the dialed dose.
5. Insert the needle into the vial with "cloudy" insulin, flip the bottle with the syringe upside down and type the desired dose of insulin. Remove air from the syringe and check the correctness of the dialed dose. Immediately inject the dialed mixture of insulin.
6. Always take the insulin in the same sequence described above.
The technique of injection with the use of insulin in cartridges
The cartridge with Humodar® R 100 is intended only for use in syringe pens. Care should be taken to follow the instructions in the instructions for using the syringe pen for insulin administration.
Before use, make sure that there is no damage to the Humodar® P 100 cartridge (for example, cracks).Do not use the cartridge if there are any visible damage. After the cartridge is inserted into the syringe pen, a colored strip should be visible through the cartridge holder window.
After the injection, the needle should remain under the skin for a minimum of 6 seconds. Keep the button depressed until the needle is completely removed from the skin, thus ensuring the correct dose administration and limiting the possibility of blood or lymph flow into the needle or the insulin cartridge.
The cartridge with Humodar® R 100 is intended for individual use only and can not be refilled.
Injection procedure
- With two fingers, take the fold of the skin, insert the needle into the base of the fold at an angle of about 45 ° and insert insulin under the skin.
- After the injection, the needle should remain under the skin for at least 6 seconds, in order to ensure that the insulin is injected completely.
- If blood disappears after removing the needle at the injection site, gently press the injection site with your finger.
It is necessary to change the injection site.
