How to Self-Inject Your Medication at Home 💉

We made a quick video to walk you through giving yourself an injection with an insulin syringe. If you're new to self-injecting, this takes the guesswork out of it.

Here's what you'll do:

Grab your supplies first: your medication vial, an insulin syringe, an alcohol swab, and your sharps container.

Take the foil cap off the vial, but leave the rubber stopper in place. Pull air into the syringe, inject that air into the vial, then draw up your correct dose. Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab, insert the needle straight in at a 90 degree angle, and inject slowly. When you're done, drop the needle and syringe straight into your sharps container. Never reuse a needle.

Always follow the dosing instructions we've given you specifically.

If anything feels off or you have questions, reach out. We're here for you.
