Using Tresiba Flextouch
Before injecting insulin, make sure you are using the correct medication.
Review all patients’ information and guides available that your pharmacist provides to familiarize yourself with your prescription.
Inspect your insulin does not have particles or discoloration before use. If either is present, do not use it. Insulin should appear clear and colorless.
Before administering Tresiba, clean the area for injection with a cotton swab and alcohol.
Rotate injection sites to avoid developing problems such as lipodystrophy.
Tresiba can be injected in the upper thigh, upper arm, or stomach area. Do not inject into a muscle or vein as this may cause hypoglycemia.
Do not inject into skin that is swollen, red, or itchy.
Do not mix with other insulin or use an infusion pump.
