- Dosage Accuracy: Ensure you are using the correct dosage. Insulin pens can have features like memory for past doses and audible clicks to help verify the dosage.
- Needle Replacement: Always use a new needle for each injection to avoid infections and ensure proper insulin delivery.
- Storage: Insulin pens can be kept at room temperature for several days, which might affect insulin potency if not stored correctly.
- Technique: Proper injection technique is crucial. Make sure you are injecting into the recommended areas like the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, or backs of the arms.
