How is insulin injected correctly?

The injection has to be made into the subcutaneous fatty tissue. From there it is absorbed into the body and achieves the desired effect on blood sugar levels.

Accidental injection into the muscle may occur when using a long needle and should be avoided. Insulin inadvertently injected into the muscle, acts very quickly and could therefore lead to hypoglycemia. The formation of a correct fold of skin helps to avoid such incidents.
