How it works
New Glarzen 100IU Injection is a short-acting insulin which starts working within 30 minutes after injection. It works similar to the insulin produced by the body. Insulin facilitates reuptake of sugar in muscle and fat cells and also suppresses the production of sugar in the liver.
Quick Tips
Take it 20 to 30 minutes before a meal. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) is a common side-effect. Learn how to identify and manage its symptoms (sweating, rapid heartbeat, weakness, blurry vision, headache) and teach your family as well. Injection below the skin of the abdomen results in faster absorption than other injection sites. Injection sites must be rotated to prevent hard lumps from developing at one site. Opened vials/cartridges are good at room temperature for up to 4 weeks while unopened vials must be placed in the refrigerator (2°C–8°C).
