Health Tip: Creating an Insulin Routine

If you take insulin, you’ll need to create a comfortable routine to keep blood glucose under control.

The American Diabetes Association explains:

Type 1 diabetes typically needs at least two daily injections of two different types of insulin.
Type 2 diabetics may need just one daily shot of insulin.
Monitor closely how your blood glucose responds to different activities, such as exercise and eating.
Find the insulin delivery method that’s best for you, whether it’s a pen, pump or syringe. Don’t forget to change the injection site periodically.
Talk to your doctor if you’re not sure that your insulin dose is appropriate.
