Insuget R/Insuget N/Insuget 70/30 Adverse Reactions

Hypoglycemia is the most frequently occurring undesirable effect of insulin therapy that a patient with diabetes may suffer. Symptoms of hypoglycemia usually occur suddenly. They may include cold sweat, cool pale skin, nervousness or tremor, anxious feeling, unusual tiredness or weakness, confusion, difficulty in concentration, headache, nausea and palpitation.
Severe hypoglycemia may lead to unconsciousness and may result in temporary or permanent impairment of brain function or even death.
Weight gain is common when taking insulin.
Edema and refraction anomalies may occur upon initiation of insulin therapy. Local hypersensitivity reactions (redness, swelling and itching at the injection site) are those transitory reactions, which may occur during the treatment with insulin and normally disappear during continued treatment.
Lipodystrophy may occur at the injection site as a consequence of failure to rotate injection site within an area.
Generalized hypersensitivity reactions may occur occasionally and can cause generalized skin rash, itching, sweating, gastrointestinal upset, angioneurotic edema, difficulties in breathing, palpitation and reduction in blood pressure. These are potentially life-threatening.
