Description
Ultra Fine diabetic needles and syringes are used for injecting insulin as part of daily insulin management. These ultra fine needles are especially slim and with a fine tip to make it for easy injection as well as less trauma and irritation to the skin. Ultra fine diabetic insulin syringes are a popular choice for diabetics who choose to administer insulin in the traditional manner with vial and syringe.
Directions
Ultra fine needles are to be used in the same way any insulin syringe is used when self-administering insulin. The abdomen is the most common injection site for insulin, but your physician may have instructed you to use another common site like, the outer thigh, hips, upper buttocks, or lower back. Wherever you are injecting yourself with diabetic insulin syringes, make sure the area is entirely clean and dry before preparing your ultra fine needle.
- Pinch a 2-3” fold of skin on either side of the cleaned injection site.
- Use a quick and fluid motion to insert the needle into the pinched skin at a 90-degree angle, moving the needle straight up and down and ensuring the needle is inserted all the way into your skin.
- Next you push down on the plunger of the syringe to force the insulin down and out of syringe, completing the injection.
- Now pull the needle out quickly. If bleeding occurs, apply light pressure with an alcohol wipe.
- Do not rub the injection site and avoiding touching it entirely.
Try to use the same general injection area at the same time of each day, but it is recommended to rotate 1 to 1.5” away from the last injection site each time, to reduce irritation.
Ingredients
The active ingredient in Slynd and Slynd generic is Drospirenone.
Cautions
Those who buy needles and syringes for self-administration of insulin should only use injection sites on the front of their body to ensure good injection technique and cleanliness. Some diabetics find it helpful to keep a daily record of injection sites used.
Check for air bubbles in the syringe before injecting insulin. Air bubbles are not a health risk but can reduce the amount of insulin in the syringe and prevent you from getting an accurate dosage. Always replace the cap on diabetic insulin syringes and dispose of them in a responsible manner.
Interactions
There is no possibility of interactive risks with medications or supplements based on the use of diabetic insulin syringes themselves. However, a patient should discuss the use of insulin with their physician and make them aware of any other medications or supplements they are taking before beginning to use any type of insulin or proceed to buy needles and syringes.
Side Effects
Side effects related to the use of diabetic insulin syringes are uncommon, but some people may experience mild pain, bruising of the skin, or skin irritation at the injection site. If any of these symptoms are pronounced and / or occur repeatedly you should speak to your doctor.
