How to Inject Insulin with a Syringe.
1.Wash your hands with soap and water. Dry your hands.
2.Remove the vial from the refrigerator. Roll the vial between your palms gently in order that insulin appears homogeneous, not separated and close to body temperature which helps reduce pain after injection.
3.Take the cover off the insulin vial. Wipe rubber top of the insulin vial with a cotton ball dipped in alcohol.
4.Pull back the plunger of the syringe, drawing air into the syringe equal to the dose of insulin that you want to take.
5.Put the syringe needle through the rubber top of the insulin vial. Inject air into the vial.
6. Turn the vial upside down and make sure that the tip of the needle is in insulin. Pull back on the syringe plunger to draw the correct dose of insulin into the syringe.
(Make sure there are no air bubbles in the syringe before you take the needle out of the insulin vial. If there are air bubbles, push syringe to release the bubbles back into the vial.)
7.Clean your skin with cotton ball dipped in alcohol.
8.Use a hand to pinch the skin. Use another hand to hold the syringe like a pen then inject insulin with the needle at an angle of about 45-90 degrees. Push the syringe plunger forward to inject insulin slowly.
9.Withdraw the needle from the skin. Press the injection site gently with a cotton ball dipped in alcohol. You should not roll or rub down the injection site. Click to listen highlighted text!
