Cautions
ALWAYS CHECK THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR BOTTLE OF INSULIN. If you notice anything unusual or if you see solid particles or clumps, discard the bottle and begin using a new bottle of insulin. FOLLOW THE DIETARY PLAN provided by your doctor. KEEP ALL APPOINTMENTS WITH YOUR DOCTOR and complete all laboratory tests. CARRY IDENTIFICATION at all times that states you have diabetes and use insulin. INJECT EACH DOSE OF INSULIN in a different area to prevent skin irritation.

If you experience the symptoms of an insulin reaction including sudden onset of a cold sweat, dizziness, fatigue, shakiness, rapid heartbeat, nausea, vision changes, or personality change or confusion, immediately drink or eat a sugar-containing product. If this does not help, contact your doctor immediately. BEFORE YOU BEGIN TAKING ANY NEW MEDICINE, either prescription or over-the-counter, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
