Insulin
Patient instructed on the importance of alternating insulin injection sites, reviewed alternative injection sites. Instructed injecting into the same spot can cause lipohypertrophy, the buildup of fat under the skin, whichcan slow the absorption of insulin, or lipoatrophy, the wasting of fat under the skin, whichcan be unsightly.
Patient was instructed on diabetes with injury. People who have diabetes are vulnerable to nerve and vascular damage that can result in loss of protective sensation in the feet, poor circulation, and poor healing of foot ulcers. Careful attention needs to be paid to any abrasion or wound to ensure the quickest healing possible. It is important for people with diabetes to routinely inspect feet, in particular, to check for any issues.
Patient was instructed on diabetes with illness. Managing diabetes on a daily basis can be a challenge, but experiencing illness or an injury can add additional stress to the maintenance. When people with diabetes are sick with a cold, flu, or other infection, it can cause blood glucose levels to climb.
Patient was instructed about another reason to get your blood sugar levels under control and keep them that way doing so can help you avoid many diabetes skin problems, still, skin conditions related to this disease are common. As many as 1 out of 3 people with diabetes will have one. Fortunately, most can be or successfully treated before they turn into a serious problem.
Patient was instructed on taking insulin on sick day. There's a good chance blood glucose (sugar) levels will rise when sick or getting sick. That's because the body is sending out hormones to fight whatever bug has invaded the body. Those hormones also make it difficult for the body to use insulin. That's bad, and it can be dangerous.
Patient was instructed on Insulin. Insulin is a hormone released from the pancreas. A hormone is a chemical messenger secreted by a gland that then travels in the blood to act on other parts of the body. Insulin is the primary substance responsible for maintaining appropriate blood sugar levels. Insulin allows sugar to be transported into cells so that they can produce energy or store the glucose until it is needed.
