1,2 -- Insulin is used at room temperature. No air bubbles should be in the syringe. This will reduce complications and will aid in ensuring correct dosages. Massage of administration sites will alter absorption rates. Pork insulin injection sites are rotated. Human or purified pork insulin sites are rotated within. The thin individual will require an administration angle of 45 degrees.
