Özet
Improving best practices in insulin injection technique is a main concern for both patients and the health care team. If the injection technique is incorrect, then it can result in pain, insulin leakage, bleeding, inflammation, bruising, lipoatrophy, and lipohypertrophy. Pain is perhaps the most common adverse event associated with insulin use.Pain on injection may be caused by inaccurate injection technique; however, information is lacking concerning how to minimize the injection pain. Thus, the prompt mitigation of anxiety about and fear of pain and, if possible, mitigation of the actual pain are of great importance to the health care team. In seeking to understand injection pain, patient self-reports become very important. In a study by Kalra and colleagues2 just over half of Indian injectors reported having pain on injection. In a study by Zijlstra and colleagues large volume and thigh injections were rated as being more painful, but injection speed did not influence pain sensation.
