1. Do not exercise or apply heat to the limb just before/after the insulin injection. It might speed up the drug delivery to cause adverse reactions.

What happens when Insulin injections are given without food?
When insulin is injected without food, it can lead to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) because there is no food for the insulin to act on. This can cause symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, sweating, and shakiness. It is important to coordinate insulin injections with meals to maintain blood sugar balance.
How does insulin affect the way cells work?
It effects the bodies ability to cope with sugar. When diabetics start taking synthetic insulin, the pancreas stops producing it on its' own and will never produce it in the same way again. That person will then always rely on injections and synthetic chemicals.

Why Metaformin tablets as well as Insulin injections?
I am a future pharmacy student, so ATM my knowledge is quite limited. However, if i had to guess i would guess the reasoning behind taking metaformin WITH insulin is because the use of exogenous insulin causes your body's insulin receptors to downregulate. Metaformin, on the other hand, causes these same receptors to upregulate. Doing this will prevent you from becoming insulin resistance and possibly requiring more insulin eventually for the same effects. Also do not think metaformin is just an oral insulin, IT IS NOT!. They both lower blood sugar levels, but in different mays. Do not get them confused!!! I hope i helped :)
