Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen is a man-made insulin that closely resembles human insulin. It provides long-lasting (constant) effects on blood sugar levels, and the action lasts for a full day. This makes it suitable to be used once daily.
How is Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen administered?
Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen is injected subcutaneously, just below the skin. Your doctor will guide you on proper injection technique and areas (abdomen or stomach, thighs, arms, hips, or buttocks) where to inject it. It's recommended to rotate the injection site for every dose. Avoid repeatedly injecting at the same spot by moving your needle slightly in a different location, such as 1cm away from previous injection site. Consider switching sides while injecting to reduce complications like lipodystrophy (fat tissue thickening), irritation, and pain.
Can I take Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen twice a day?
Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen is long-acting and typically taken once daily. It can be taken at any time of the day, but it's advisable to take it at the same time each day.
What will happen if I accidentally inject more than the prescribed dose of Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen?
If you've accidentally taken a higher dose of Nobeglar UNO 100IU/ml Pre-filled Pen, your blood sugar levels may drop drastically (hypoglycemia). This can range from mild to severe.

You can often correct it with sugary foods like candy, fruit juice, or glucose/glucon-D solution. However, always consult your doctor if any issues arise to determine appropriate treatment. Severe hypoglycemia might lead to seizures (fits) or unconsciousness, which can be life-threatening. Seek immediate medical attention in such cases.

Inform your doctor of all medications you're taking as some can affect insulin effectiveness.
