Precautions:
- Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is crucial for effective diabetes management and to determine insulin needs.
- Patients should inform their healthcare provider about any changes in their physical activity, diet, or stress levels, as these can influence insulin requirements.
- Be aware of potential side effects, including hypoglycemia and local injection site reactions.
Side Effects: Common side effects may include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), injection site reactions (redness, swelling, or itching), and weight gain. Severe side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions. Contact a healthcare provider if any unusual symptoms occur.
Consultation: Before starting Lantus SoloStar, patients should have an in-depth discussion with their healthcare provider to understand the proper use of the SoloStar pen, establish an individualized dosing schedule, and address any concerns regarding potential side effects or interactions with other medications.
