Insulin Allergy

Insulin allergy occurs when the immune system reacts negatively to insulin, a hormone essential for regulating blood sugar. This reaction can cause symptoms like skin rashes, itching, or swelling at the injection site, and in rare cases, more severe reactions like difficulty breathing. Insulin allergies can develop in people with diabetes who require insulin for treatment. It’s important for individuals experiencing these symptoms to talk to their healthcare provider, as they may need an alternative treatment or additional management strategies to ensure their diabetes is effectively controlled without allergic reactions.
