Basalog Injection is administered for the following health conditions:

• Management of type 1 diabetes mellitus: This is a chronic condition where your body does not produce enough insulin.

• Long-term glucose control in adults and children with diabetes: Basalog Injection helps maintain blood sugar levels throughout the day and night.

Administer Basalog Injection following these steps:

• Ensure that the injection site is clean before administering.

• Gently pinch skin and inject insulin into pinched tissues.

• Rotate injection sites to avoid skin changes at the site of injection.

Basalog Injection is administered subcutaneously.

Basalog Injection contains rDNA origin Insulin Glargine (100 IU) and works on the body in several ways:

• Glycaemic Control: Glargine acts similar to naturally occurring insulin, a hormone that controls the levels of glucose in your blood. This helps maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.

• Lowering Blood Sugar Levels: By facilitating the absorption of glucose from the bloodstream into muscle and fat cells, glargine effectively reduces high blood sugar levels.

• Suppresses Glucose Production: Glargine also works by suppressing the liver's production of glucose, thus achieving a further reduction in blood sugar levels.

• Keep the Basalog Injection in its original container to protect it from light.

• Store it at a cool temperature, ideally between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius. Do not freeze.

• Avoid areas with high humidity or direct heat.

• Keep the medicine out of the reach and sight of children.

• Remember to use Basalog Injection before its expiry date.

• Since Basalog Injection is used to manage diabetes, try to include more fibre-rich foods in your daily diet like whole grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes, as they may help maintain steady blood sugar levels.

• Regular moderate physical activity, such as walking or cycling, can also help manage your blood glucose levels effectively. Remember, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
