Insulin Administration
Insulin administration is the process of delivering insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels, to individuals with diabetes. Insulin can be administered through various methods, including injections using a syringe, insulin pens, or insulin pumps. The choice of method often depends on personal preference, lifestyle, and medical advice.
Proper technique is essential for effective insulin administration. Injections should be given in areas with adequate fat tissue, such as the abdomen or thigh, and the site should be rotated to prevent tissue damage. Patients must also monitor their blood sugar levels regularly to adjust their insulin doses as needed.
