Glucorx Needles are universal fit on all insulin pen delivery devices including Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk AS, Becton Dickinson, Owen Mumford and Sanofi.

Each of the Glucorx Needles are electropolished with high grade siliconisation for enhanced ease of injection. They use Maxflow technology (extra thin wall allows maximum flow rate and reduced injection time) and so are anti-coring (no fragmentation).

Glucorx Needles FinePoint use 5 bevel needle tip Quintapoint technology (except 10mm and 12mm) which provides a higher level of comfortable injection to patients. The GlucoRx CarePoint range is 3 bevel.

Glucorx Pen Needles are used to deliver insulin to diabetic patients. Insulin is a hormone made in the pancreas. It helps the body use the glucose (sugar) from your diet for energy.

Type 1 diabetes causes the pancreas to no longer produce insulin causing extreme fatigue and even possible death. Complications such as heart disease or kidney disease can occur if the condition isn’t controlled correctly.

This is where Glucorx Pen Needles come in and deliver the required amount of insulin to your blood stream.

There are two different types of insulin, one taken once or twice a day and the other taken with food or drink.

The one taken once or twice a day is called long-acting, background or basal insulin. This gives the body insulin it needs whether or not you’ve eaten. It’s intended to keep insulin levels stable over night and between each meal.

The other, taken with food or drink, is called fast-acting, mealtime or bolus insulin. This type reduces the sudden spike in blood glucose when you’ve eaten or drank something. It’s usually taken before a meal, snack or drink containing carbohydrates.

If it hurts when using Glucorx Carepoint Ultra needles, try the following:

• Let a doctor decide which pen needle size is best for you; consult them about using different needle size/pen/injection site.

• Never reuse Glucorx Carepoint Ultra Needles; this can cause bacterial growth on the needle and dull the tip, resulting in painful injection and risk of it breaking off / dislodging in the skin.

• Remove the outer and inner caps carefully so not to bend the needle.

• Inject insulin when at room temperature.

• Ensure correct injection technique, penetrate the skin quickly and relax the muscles.

• Injections of smaller insulin doses hurt less; ask a doctor if doses can be split.

It’s not unusual for Glucorx Carepoint Insulin Pen Needles to puncture a tiny blood vessel so some blood appears when injecting. This can be stopped by putting light pressure on the injection site with a cotton ball, without rubbing to prevent bruising. If a bruise appears, do not use Glucorx Carepoint Insulin Pen Needles on the same site again until the bruise goes. If bleeding has occurred before, consult a healthcare professional on injection technique and/or if another medical problem has presented itself.

If it’s hard to press the Glucorx Finepoint Needles button or plunger down, clogging may be due to:

• Small amounts of insulin caught in the needle from previous use. Use new Glucorx Finepoint Needles for each injection.

• Clump in the insulin – make sure it’s properly mixed before drawing it up.

• Prematurely drawing insulin before ready to inject, causing some to dry inside the needle. Fill the syringe closer to injection time.

• Dialling excess dosage than the amount of medication in the pen – Glucorx Finepoint Needles pen.

If leakage occurs after using Glucorx Finepoint Insulin Pen Needles, the needle may not be under the skin long enough – try to count up to 10 slowly before withdrawing the needle. There may still be some leakage after withdrawing a needle anyway but this should not affect blood glucose control.

Make sure that the skin fold technique is also being used, release the pinch before the Glucorx Finepoint Insulin Pen Needles are removed from the skin. Also never carry Glucorx Finepoint Insulin Pen Needles with the needle already attached. This causes air to enter the cartridge and slow the insulin dosage time.

Skin problems at the injection site when using Glucorx Finepoint Hypodermic Insulin Needles can occur due to changes in the subcutaneous fat:

• Lipohypertrophy – appears as soft, grape-like lumps under the skin from insulin reaction or needle reuse. Rotate injection sites to prevent development.

• Lipoatrophy – loss of fat under skin so it dips is a rare occurrence with impure insulin’s.

Although less painful, never use Glucorx Finepoint Hypodermic Insulin Needles into lumps because insulin does not absorb well there.

Do not forget scheduled insulin injections as this can affect glucose levels and overall health.
