Insulin errors are leading to emergency visits and poor outcomes

Insulin errors are leading to emergency visits and poor outcomes.

Product mix-ups are a common reason for ER visits. For example, NovoRapid (insulin aspart) and Levemir (insulin detemir) FlexTouch pens look very similar. Accidentally injecting NovoRapid thinking it's Levemir can lead to a dangerous drop in blood sugar.

Avoid covering product names, dosing windows, and other key info with Rx labels so patients can double-check their insulin and dose.
