Insulin works by lowering blood sugar.If you take too much it could lower your blood sugar too much causing a`Hypo` attack. (see below)
Insulins have to be injected by the patient or a family member.Though it is an injection
patients generally get used to it.It is commonly injected to the thigh, around your bellybutton or shoulders. It should not be injected in to the same site all the time.
Insulin should be stored in the refrigerator.(not in the freezer compartment) or in a cool
room.It is sensible always to havean extra bottle of insulin in case of breakage.The
number of injections could usually vary from one to three injections a day depending on the type of insulin prescribed.
