How to take an insulin Injection for the first time with an insulin pen | The Hangry Woman

An Insulin injection can seem completely terrifying the first time you have to do it. Here's how I do my daily injection. It's super easy, usually takes me about 30 seconds, and isn't always painful (although sometimes my insulin does burn a little bit going in).

Skip to 1:30 for the the step-by-step

This video is long, but it actually doesn't take that long to take an injection. I'm just sharing the detailed, step-by-step process of everything I do to prep for an injection.

I'm also showing you different insulin injection sites that work well, plus how to know if your insulin pen is working or not. This video shows a subcutaneous injection!

It's actually one of the easiest things I do all day!

Hope this helps make injections a little less scary. Be sure to check out some of my other videos about diabetes on my channel!
