How to use BD :

Use BD as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

  • To prepare your dose of insulin, pull the syringe plunger back to draw air into the syringe. The amount of air in the syringe should be equal to the number of units of insulin that you will be injecting. Insert the needle through the rubber cap of the insulin bottle and inject the air into the bottle. Invert the bottle and syringe. Pull back on the plunger to draw insulin into the syringe and measure the correct number of units of insulin. Check for any bubbles in the syringe. Eliminate any air bubbles found by tapping gently on the syringe.
  • Insulin can be injected into the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and arms. First clean the skin at the injection site with an alcohol pad or rubbing alcohol. Pinch a fold of skin at the injection site with your fingers. The pinch should include at least 3 inches of skin. Insert the needle at a 45 to 90 degree angle. Then, inject the insulin, withdraw the needle, and press lightly on the skin.
  • Use a syringe only once. Sterility of a reused syringe cannot be guaranteed.
  • Discard used syringes and needles as instructed by your health care provider. Ask your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist to explain local regulations for selecting an appropriate container and properly disposing of the container when it is full. Always discard needles and syringes in either a special container for sharps or in a puncture-resistant, resealable, household container like an empty coffee can or bleach bottle.
  • If you miss a dose of BD , use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use BD .

Important safety information:

  • Do not reuse needles, syringes, or other materials.
  • Use a different site for each injection; about 1 inch away from previous injection sites, but in the same general area. Use all available sites in the same general area before switching to a different area. Do not use the same injection site more often than once every month or two.
  • If you have trouble seeing the small markings on the syringe, have someone help you. Also, let your doctor or pharmacist know about this problem. They can provide tools that are easier to read, special tools to help you fill the syringe, or prefilled syringes.
