Some side effects are [[hypoglycemia]] (low blood sugar), [[hypokalemia]] (low blood potassium), and [[allergic reactions]]. Allergy to insulin affected about 2% of people, of which most reactions are not due to the insulin itself but to preservatives added to insulin such as zinc, [[protamine]], and [[meta-cresol]]. Most reactions are [[Type I hypersensitivity]] reactions and rarely cause [[anaphylaxis]]. A suspected allergy to insulin can be confirmed by [[skin prick testing]], [[patch testing]] and occasionally [[skin biopsy]]. First line therapy against insulin hypersensitivity reactions include symptomatic therapy with antihistamines. The affected persons are then switched to a preparation that does not contain the specific agent they are reacting to or undergo [[Desensitization (medicine)|desensitization]].</div>FuzzyBot
