HOW TO MANAGE SIDE EFFECTS
Hypoglycemia
Managing
hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, involves prompt action to raise blood
glucose levels and manage complications. When experiencing
hypoglycemia, individuals should quickly consume a source of
rapidly-absorbed carbohydrates, such as glucose tablets, fruit juice, or
regular soda. Waiting for about 15 minutes and rechecking blood sugar
levels is crucial to ensure they rise to a safe range. If hypoglycemia
persists, additional carbohydrate intake may be necessary. Once blood
sugar levels stabilize, a small snack containing both carbohydrates and
protein can help sustain them. Regular monitoring and consultation with a
healthcare professional are essential for developing a personalized
plan to manage hypoglycemia effectively. In severe cases, emergency
assistance may be required.
Injection Site Reactions
Managing
injection site reactions is essential for individuals who regularly
administer injections. To alleviate discomfort and minimize potential
issues, it is crucial to follow proper injection techniques. Rotate
injection sites to manage overuse of a single area, allowing tissues to
heal. Use a clean, sterile needle and syringe for each injection. Apply
an ice pack to the injection site before and after administration to
reduce pain and swelling. If redness, swelling, or irritation persists,
consult a healthcare professional for guidance. It is essential to
report any severe or persistent reactions to ensure appropriate
adjustments to the injection routine and to manage potential
complications.
