When using Insugen 30/70 (a biphasic insulin containing 30% human insulin and 70% insulin isophane), it is important to use the correct pen and needle for safe and effective administration.

• Pen Type: Use an insulin pen compatible with human insulin formulations. Many standard insulin pens available in India are suitable for biphasic insulin like Insugen 30/70. Your healthcare provider or pharmacist can recommend a specific pen.

• Needle Size: Typically, a short needle (4mm to 6mm) is recommended for insulin injections. These needles are thin and cause less pain while ensuring proper delivery into the subcutaneous tissue.

• Needle Gauge: A 31 to 32 gauge needle is commonly used, which is very fine and minimizes discomfort.

• Additional Tips: Always use a new sterile needle for each injection to prevent infection and ensure accurate dosing. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions on injection technique and rotation of injection sites.

If you are unsure about which pen or needle to use, consult your doctor or diabetes educator for personalized advice and demonstration. Proper technique and equipment are key to effective diabetes management and comfort during injections.
