Safety warning: FDA emphasizes the importance of correct use of pen needle tips

The FDA has issued a safety notice, reminding patients and healthcare professionals to be aware of misuse of standard pen needle tips - if the inner cap is not removed before injection, insulin will not be able to enter the body, potentially leading to severe hyperglycemia and even ketoacidosis.
For this reason, it is recommended to use safety-type needles (such as BD AutoShield Duo), whose automatic retractable protective cap can effectively prevent needle stick injuries and cross-infection.
