Insulin Administration

Insulin administration involves injecting a hormone called insulin to help regulate blood sugar levels, especially for people with diabetes. It can be given using a syringe, insulin pen, or an insulin pump. The dose and timing are tailored to individual needs, activity levels, and food intake. Insulin works by allowing cells to absorb glucose from the bloodstream to use for energy or storage, preventing high blood sugar. Proper technique, hygiene, and regular monitoring are essential to ensure effective and safe insulin use. Healthcare providers guide patients on the appropriate type, dosage, and injection sites.
