How and Where to Inject Insulin

People suffering from diabetes always question how to inject insulin conveniently, hence we’ve put down a step-by-step guide in taking an insulin dosage. Firstly, take a syringe and the insulin vial, push the needle into the stopper and push the plunger down. Turn the vial upside down without taking out the syringe. Once in place, pull the plunger back until you reach the recommended dosage. Next, rub the injection site with an alcohol pad. Let it dry for a few minutes before you insert the needle. For better grip, pinch a 1 to 2-inch portion of your skin before inserting the needle in your skin. Once inserted, push the plunger down and wait for a few seconds. Refrain from rubbing the injection site. People also question which are the best places for injection, these are as follows:

• Abdomen

• Thigh

• Arm

• Buttocks
