If diabetes is not through diet, exercise or oral hypoglycemic medications to control blood sugar, insulin only, direct control of blood sugar levels. Insulin is a science, Malaysian Diabetes Association Penang branch of educators and nurses Caiyu root that from the injection site, time, skills, steps, dose of insulin storage means, must be correctly handled, otherwise futile apart, blood sugar uncontrolled rising. If not promptly corrected, continue or cause long-term complications, life-threatening.
The three types of insulin
1 Short-acting (clear) :30-60 minutes into play, duration 5-7 hours.
2 long-acting (cloudy) :60-90 minutes into play, duration 18-24 hours.
3 long-term (Mixtard, blend preparation): there is only 30/70 one, that is 30% short-acting, intermediate-acting insulin mixture of 70%.
Types of patients must be based on doctor's orders not to judge.
Abdomen fastest absorption of insulin
Whether long or short-term injection from the injection site, time, skills, steps, insulin dose to the store the way, must be processed correctly. Abdomen, arms, thighs and buttocks for insulin, insulin absorption among the fastest in the abdomen (navel from the injection point must be the width of two fingers), followed by the arm, and finally the thighs and buttocks.
Do not arbitrarily increase or decrease the number of insulin dose
Cai Yu root out that every time the site of injection must be rotated, can prevent skin pain, muscle hardening, swelling and inflammation, bleeding, let the body absorb insulin properly.
"If the same injection site, the old and new injection point must be separated by the width of two fingers for the standards in order to avoid these injuries. Remember, the injection site and needle must be 90 degrees, it will not hurt the skin, but also to ensure insulin into the body smoothly. "
She reminded the injection time, frequency and dose must be conducted in accordance with doctor's orders, and medication, like, not with their own preferences, habits, any increase or decrease.
Insulin pen injector, easy operation and accurate dose
Malaysian Diabetes Association Penang branch of educators and nurses Caiyu root that injection of insulin-specific tools can be used syringe or insulin pen (insulinepen), two injection tool is simple, accurate dose, fine needle, thus greatly reducing the pain.
She said to injection needles used only once. Re-use needles will become blunt, resulting in gaps and difficult to detect visually barb, increase the patient's pain, and even needle and skin infections. "However, based on the current high oil prices, economic downturn, most use a needle twice."
She suggested that insulin should bring their own blood glucose meters, blood glucose fluctuations daily self-test and the results recorded in the review is to enable doctors to adjust the amount of insulin.
Cai Yu root remind the patient is important to note in the insulin pen is finished. Some patients do not know of insulin has been used, still has been injected, but mistakenly thought that the situation has not improved after the injection.
