Insulin Side Effects

Pain, Redness, and Swelling

Despite the very thin needle thickness, there is still some pain as it pierces the skin. For those people who are just started to have insulin injections, the pain level may be on a higher scale, but as it progresses, the pain level and tolerance might reduce. Redness is also common and swelling for insulin users.

Minimizing the side effects

To minimize the side effects, you have to incorporate these two methods into your injection rituals. Always do a blood sugar check before an injection to ensure your blood sugar is good. Also, it is crucial to rotate the areas where you have your injections. This will prevent some pain.
