Insulin Syringes

Insulin syringes are used for administering insulin injections to people with diabetes. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar levels in the body. People with diabetes may need to inject insulin into their body if their pancreas does not produce enough or any insulin. Insulin injections are necessary to control blood sugar levels and prevent potential complications of diabetes. Insulin syringes are designed to accurately measure and deliver specific doses of insulin for these injections. They are available in various sizes and types, such as traditional needles or pen needles, to fit an individual's specific needs.

  • How Much Insulin Do I Need if My Sugar Is 300?

  • What Happens If I Eat Immediately After Taking Insulin?

    Eating immediately after rapid-acting insulin can help prevent low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially when mealtime insulin is used. Follow your diabetes care plan and timing as advised by your provider.
