You can inject insulin into your abdomen, upper arm, buttocks, hip, and the front or side of the thigh. Do not inject insulin into areas where you have a wound or bruising. Use a different area within the site each time you inject insulin. Additionally, can insulin be given IM? A: Intramuscular (IM) injection is faster. However, IM injection is not for regular use, and has its risks. Your doctor may use it in special situations, but day to day insulin injections should all be of the subcutaneous (SubQ) type. Mixing the two would inject another variable into your diabetes control. In this manner, what is the best time to take Lantus insulin? The package insert for Lantus states that it should be administered once daily at bedtime. However, this product does exhibit a relatively constant glucose-lowering profile over 24 hours, and therefore in theory, time of dosing should not matter if administered at the same time daily.Is it OK to inject cold insulin?Most insulin makers recommend storing it in the refrigerator, but injecting cold insulin can be uncomfortable. Make sure it’s at room temperature before injecting. Ask your doctor whether to store your insulin in the fridge or at room temperature.
