Can I use Basugine injection instead of Basalog injection? Will the same injection needle work? I am doing this to reduce costs.

You should only switch insulin brands after consulting your doctor, as the dose or absorption may differ slightly. Basugine and Basalog both contain insulin glargine, but always confirm with your doctor before changing. The same type of injection needle may work, but you should check the pen or cartridge instructions to be sure.
