Basalog One Solution for Injection

Basalog One Solution for Injection is a long-acting insulin preparation designed for people living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, including both adults and children. It works by maintaining a steady supply of insulin throughout the day, which supports stable blood glucose control and lowers the risk of diabetes-related health problems.

This insulin may be prescribed on its own or along with shorter-acting insulins or other anti-diabetic medicines. A healthcare professional will guide you on how to inject it properly under the skin. To get the best outcome, it should be used regularly in the exact dose recommended. Discontinuing treatment suddenly can cause a significant rise in blood sugar, which may become dangerous. Apart from insulin, lifestyle measures such as a balanced diet, physical activity, and weight control are equally important parts of the treatment plan.

Possible Side Effects

The most common concern with this injection is hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). To avoid this, it is important to take the right dose, eat meals on time, and check your sugar levels often. Drinking too much alcohol may also trigger low sugar episodes. Other effects that may occur include swelling of the body, skin reactions at the injection site, itching, rashes, fat distribution changes under the skin, allergic reactions, and weight gain.

Precautions

This medicine should not be used if your blood sugar is already low. Before starting, inform your doctor if you have any past or existing kidney, liver, or heart issues. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should seek medical advice before using it.

Uses

• Management of diabetes mellitus

Benefits

Basalog One is a synthetic form of insulin that replaces the natural insulin your body cannot produce adequately. It helps move glucose from the bloodstream into the cells, where it is converted into energy. By reducing high sugar levels, it lowers the chances of complications like nerve damage, kidney disease, vision loss, and circulation problems.

How It Works

This medicine provides long-lasting insulin activity similar to the body’s natural insulin. It helps muscles and fat cells absorb glucose and also reduces sugar production in the liver, ensuring stable control of blood glucose levels throughout the day.

Safety Information

• Alcohol: Not recommended, as it increases the risk of low sugar.

• Pregnancy: Should only be used after medical advice; benefits and risks must be weighed carefully.

• Breastfeeding: Likely safe if prescribed by a doctor.

• Driving: Low or high sugar levels can impair concentration and alertness, so caution is advised.

• Kidney/Liver Conditions: Dose adjustments may be required, with regular monitoring of sugar levels.

Missed Dose

If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next one, skip the missed dose and continue with your usual schedule. Do not inject extra to make up for the missed amount.
