Cautions
ALWAYS CHECK THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR BOTTLE OF INSULIN. If you notice anything unusual or if you see solid particles or clumps, discard the bottle and begin using a new bottle of insulin. FOLLOW THE DIETARY PLAN provided by your doctor. KEEP ALL APPOINTMENTS WITH YOUR DOCTOR and complete all laboratory tests.

AN INSULIN REACTION resulting from too low a blood sugar may occur if you take too much insulin, skip a meal, or exercise too much. If you experience the symptoms of an insulin reaction including sudden onset of a cold sweat, dizziness, fatigue, shakiness, rapid heartbeat, nausea, vision changes, or personality change or confusion, immediately drink or eat a sugar-containing product. If this does not help, contact your doctor immediately. BEFORE YOU BEGIN TAKING ANY NEW MEDICINE, either prescription or over-the-counter, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
