FAQ

  • Are the CarePoint GlucoRx Insulin Pen Needles single-use or reusable?

    These insulin pen needles are single-use only. Once you have used the needle, you should dispose of it in a suitable sharps bin.

Side Effects

Occasionally, CarePoint GlucoRx CarePoint Insulin Pen Needles may pierce a small blood vessel meaning several are visible during the injection. You can prevent this by using a cotton ball and then gently applying force at the location of the injection, but be careful not to rub to stop bruising.

Should a bruise occur, avoid using CarePoint GlucoRx Insulin Pen Needles on the exact spot again - let the bruise fade before trying again. If you've experienced bleeding previously, speak to a healthcare specialist who can advise you about how to perform injections correctly and if you may be suffering from another medical issue.

When any leaking appears following operating CarePoint GlucoRx Carepoint Insulin Pen Needles, this may be because the needle wasn't beneath the skin for enough time – in which case, count to 10 gradually before removing the needle. You may experience a little leakage once you've removed the needle. 

Ensure you use the skin fold method, which allows you to release the pinch prior to withdrawing the CarePoint Glucorx Insulin Pen Needles from the skin.

During CarePoint Glucorx Insulin Pen Needles injections, you may suffer from skin issues where the injection was given because of shifts in the fatty tissue:

  • Lipoatrophy: losing fat beneath the skin, so it falls hardly ever happens with impure insulin.
  • Lipohypertrophy: looks like smooth, grape-like bumps beneath the skin due to needle reuse or insulin reaction. Alternate injection spots to stop this from happening.

Avoid using CarePoint Insulin Pen Needles on bumps, as insulin can't soak up effectively here. Remember to schedule your insulin injections because this can influence your general health and glucose levels.
