Pinch the skin that you just cleaned. Inject the needle into the skin at a 90-degree angle Push the end of the plunger to send the insulin into your body (Mr. Moore performs the injection following RN Alana's instructions) RN Alana: OK, now slowly withdraw the syringe. Press the injection site into an alcohol wipe for a little bit. Good. The insulin you just had is regular insulin, which has a rapid onset.

I'll get the tray for you (RN Alana brings the lunch tray for Mr. Moore) Alana: Mr Moore, when you are at home doing your self-injection, do make sure you are giving the right type of insulin with the right amount Mr moore ana: If you feel dizzy or hungry after the injection of insulin, you need to eat something right away ight be experiencing low-blood sugar Its very dangerous when your blood sugar drops too low.
