Patient/caregiver was instructed upon guidelines for insulin injection site rotation as follows: Following the guidelines below can help promote healing of previous injection sites, reduce the incidence of lipodystrophy changes in the skin, and thus prevent chance for compromised insulin absorption & action. Choosing a new site for every insulin administration by moving at least one finger breadth from the site of previous insulin administration can immensely help prevent development of lipodystrophy. Changing the insulin [...]

Patient/caregiver was instructed upon guidelines for insulin injection site rotation as follows: Following the guidelines below can help promote healing of previous injection sites, reduce the incidence of lipodystrophy changes in the skin, and thus prevent chance for compromised insulin absorption & action. Keep a close watch on the skin sites insulin was administered. Note for the development of scar tissue or lumpy masses at these injection sites. Going forward, avoid administering insulin into these [...]

Patient/caregiver was instructed upon guidelines for insulin injection site rotation as follows: Insulin is administered into the less sensitive layer of fatty tissue, just underneath the skin (subcutaneous fat). Injecting insulin into the fat layer beneath the skin can help absorption of insulin into the blood stream at a desired and consistent rate. Administering insulin over and over again in the same site can lead to development of scar tissue from serious damage to the subcutaneous fat [...]

Patient/caregiver was instructed upon sites for insulin administration as follows: Insulin is administered into the less sensitive layer of fatty tissue, just underneath the skin (subcutaneous fat). Injecting insulin into the fat layer beneath the skin can help absorption of insulin into the blood stream at a desired and consistent rate. Insulin can be injected into the subcutaneous fat available at various body sites by using insulin syringe, insulin pen, or even insulin infusion. Subcutaneous fat is [...]

Patient/caregiver was instructed upon route of insulin administration as follows: Insulin is administered into the less sensitive layer of fatty tissue, just underneath the skin (subcutaneous fat). Injecting insulin into the fat layer beneath the skin can help absorption of insulin into the blood stream at a desired and consistent rate. To facilitate administration into the subcutaneous fat, insulin is administered via insulin syringe, insulin pen, or insulin infusion. The syringes/needles used for insulin administration are different [...]
