- There is a significant difference in blood flow to various anatomic sites of injection (abdomen, deltoid, gluteus, and thigh) responsible for variability in insulin absorption and effect. Patients should therefore avoid random use of different body regions for their injections. For example, if a patient prefers to use their thigh for a morning injection, this site should be used consistently for this injection.
- Patients on intermediate insulin (NPH) or premixed insulins should resuspend the product before use by rolling gently on their hands so as to improve absorption and reduce variation in bioavailability and effect. Please Subscribe to continue reading
