Benefits of Basaglar Kwik Pen
- In Type 1 diabetes
- Basaglar Kwik Pen replaces the insulin a type 1 pancreas no longer makes. It is what allows the body to use food for energy, and keeping sugar in range with it prevents both the immediate danger of very high sugar and the long-term damage to eyes, kidneys and nerves.

Insulin glargine is a long-acting basal insulin analogue. After subcutaneous injection it forms microprecipitates that slowly release insulin, providing a near-constant insulin level for about 24 hours to reduce fasting and between-meal blood glucose.

Can be taken with or without food; dose is individualized by the doctor—do not change dose/brand without medical advice.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
