In this short film, DEFA is bringing awareness on safely switching from one insulin to another when and if you find yourself in an unfamiliar environment.

During times of war, conflict and natural disasters people with diabetes may need their insulin formulations switched due to limited supplies or options. Insulin switching guides provide guidance to healthcare workers on the ground to safely utilize available insulin options. The switching guide resources can be found under Resource Library --> Disaster Response Resources.

Please discuss with your healthcare provider prior to switching your insulin.
