Basaglar 100 Units/ml Cartridge is a long-acting type of insulin used to treat type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus in both adults and children. It provides a steady level of insulin in the body for an entire day and helps control blood sugar levels. This helps prevent complications associated with diabetes. Basaglar 100 Units/ml Cartridge can be prescribed alone or in combination with fast-acting insulin or other diabetes medicines. Your doctor or nurse will teach you how to inject it under the skin correctly. You should use this medicine regularly per the dose advised to get the maximum benefit. If you stop taking it, your blood sugar levels may rise very high, which may put you at risk of serious complications. It is only a part of the treatment program that should include a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight reduction, as your doctor advises. The most common side effect of Basaglar 100 Units/ml Cartridge is low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). To prevent this, it is important to inject only the correct dose of medicine, have regular meals, and monitor your blood sugar levels regularly. Drinking excessive alcohol can also lead to a fall in your blood sugar levels.

Do not use Basaglar 100 Units/ml Cartridge when you have low blood sugar levels. Before starting the treatment, inform your doctor if you have ever had kidney, liver, or heart problems.
