Insulin should be administered using an insulin syringe with the appropriate needle length and gauge. Aspiration should not be done before injecting insulin as it can increase the risk of hypoglycemia. The injection should be done at a 90-degree angle, unless otherwise instructed by the healthcare provider. The site should not be rubbed after injection as it can alter insulin absorption.
