Insulin Anaphylaxis

Insulin anaphylaxis is a rare but serious allergic reaction to insulin, a hormone used to control blood sugar in people with diabetes. In this condition, the immune system overreacts to insulin as if it were a harmful substance, leading to symptoms such as hives, difficulty breathing, swelling, and sometimes severe drops in blood pressure. This reaction can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. While insulin is essential for managing diabetes, it’s important for individuals using it to be aware of potential allergies and to seek help if they experience adverse reactions.
