Insulin Glargine

Uses

Insulin Glargine is used in the treatment of diabetes.

How it Works

How Insulin Glargine Works Insulin Glargine is a long-acting insulin that provides consistent, all-day sugar control. It functions similarly to the body's natural insulin. Insulin facilitates the uptake of sugar in muscle and fat cells and suppresses sugar production in the liver.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Insulin Glargine include allergic reactions, injection site reactions (pain, swelling, redness), lipodystrophy (skin thickening or pits at the injection site), itching, rash, and edema (swelling).

Expert Advice

  • Insulin Glargine is injected subcutaneously.
  • It needs to be administered once daily, at the same time each day.
  • Injection in the abdominal area results in faster absorption compared to other sites.
  • Injection sites must be rotated to prevent the development of hard lumps at any one site.
  • Engage in regular exercise, maintain a healthy diet, and take other prescribed diabetes medications.
  • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels) is a common side effect; therefore, regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is essential while using this medication.
  • Always carry high-sugar foods such as sugar candy, glucose candy, fruit juice, or glucose/glucon-D to manage hypoglycemia symptoms.
  • Hypoglycemia symptoms may include cold sweats, cool pale skin, tremors, weakness, and anxiety.
  • Opened vials/cartridges remain stable at room temperature for up to 4 weeks.
  • Unopened vials should be stored in the refrigerator (2°C–8°C).
  • Do not use if the preparation is no longer clear and colorless or if it contains particles.
