Instructed patient on possible adverse reactions to insulin, which include hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and skin rash and local reaction at injection site.

Patient was instructed on diabetes. Diabetes mellitus, often simply called diabetes, is a common disorder in which the body cannot properly use the carbohydrates (starches and simple sugars), fats and proteins in foods.
Patient was instructed on diabetes. All body cells require glucose for energy. Glucose enters body cells with the help of a hormone called insulin, which acts somewhat like a gatekeeper. If the body becomes less responsive to insulin, or if the body is not producing insulin, glucose cannot pass through the cell wall and the cell "starves."
Taught that Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a syndrome in which insulin production is decreased or absent.
Patient was instructed on type II diabetes. Some people with type II diabetes can get blood sugar control through diabetes pills. These people do produce some insulin. But it is not enough to keep their blood sugar under control. Type II diabetes can often be controlled by weight loss, sensitive eating, and pills that improve the insulin supply or help it work better.
SN explained that the Diabetes can affect the small blood vessels of the body that supply the skin with blood. Changes to the blood vessels because of diabetes can cause a skin condition called diabetic dermopathy. This appears as scaly patches that are light brown or red, often on the front of the legs.
Patient was instructed on skin complications. As many as one third of people with diabetes will have a skin disorder caused or affected by diabetes at some time on their lives. In fact, such problems are sometimes the first sign that a person has diabetes. Luckily, most skin conditions can be prevented or easily treated if caught early.
