If you take insulin, you’ll need to create a comfortable routine to keep blood glucose under control.

The American Diabetes Association explains:

• Type 1 diabetes typically needs at least two daily injections of two different types of insulin.
• Type 2 diabetics may need just one daily shot of insulin.
• Monitor closely how your blood glucose responds to different activities, such as exercise and eating.
• Find the insulin delivery method that’s best for you, whether it’s a pen, pump or syringe. Don’t forget to change the injection site periodically.
• Talk to your doctor if you’re not sure that your insulin dose is appropriate.
