Precautions:

• Hypoglycemia: Be cautious of low blood sugar, especially when exercising or missing meals. It's important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Insulin is considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but always consult your doctor to adjust doses if necessary.
• Kidney and liver conditions: Dosage adjustments may be required for people with kidney or liver issues.
• Other medications: Some medications, such as beta-blockers or certain diuretics, may affect your insulin needs. Always inform your healthcare provider of any other medications you are taking.
• Infections, stress, or illness: These factors can affect your insulin needs, so blood sugar monitoring should be more frequent during times of illness or stress.
