Precision Sure DosePrecision Sure Dose syringes are ideal for those who only need smaller doses of insulin. Their markings are especially easy to read, with half unit marks for easy measurement. While other features are largely the same as with similar syringes, the Precision Sure Dose is a bit less expensive. American Diabetic Supply is proud to offer Precision Sure Dose syringes, since these are ideal for families and individuals trying to cut the costs of their diabetes supplies without sacrificing quality or efficiency.
Some diabetics are concerned about switching syringes, since they might have allergic reactions. If a reaction occurs around the injection site, many users think it is the syringe that is irritating their skin. However, it is more likely they may be allergic to the insulin. While insulin allergies are becoming less common as more people use human insulin, there are some individuals who still experience a bad reaction.
American Diabetic Supply would like to reassure you that allergic reactions are usually rare. However, if you are allergic to penicillin, be sure to inform your prescribing physician. This may be a sign you may also have an allergy to insulin. Having an injection site allergic reaction is rarely life-threatening. This reaction usually clears up on its own over a few months, but you should always notify your physician when you have a reaction.
Diabetes, Syringes, and Allergies
Allergies to insulin can manifest around the injection site, or they may be systemic and affect the entire body. If you have a reaction, you may be allergic to the insulin as a whole, or only to one of the ingredients used in the insulin. It is important you do not brush aside a local reaction around the injection site as the result of an improper injection technique or an allergic reaction to the syringe.
