(Diabetes medication) Is it less painful to rub after an insulin injection?
2024.07.22 22:06
Q. Does rubbing the injection site after an insulin shot make it less painful?
A. Do not rub it at all.
Never rub the area when administering insulin injections due to blood sugar.
Because insulin is absorbed quickly, it can cause hypoglycemia.
Please endure the pain for a moment even after the injection. Changing the injection site each time also helps alleviate the pain.
Try injecting into the subcutaneous tissue of the abdomen, thighs, etc., changing the location each time.
Summary: Rubbing after insulin injection can increase the risk of hypoglycemia!

- 01CommentsIf you have a habit of washing your hands frequently and vigorously, your skin barrier may be damaged, potentially leading to severe dryness, flaking, or skin irritation upon contact with water. Since there are various possibilities such as chronic hand eczema, irritant contact dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, and damage to the stratum corneum, an accurate diagnosis appears necessary. If the appointment at Seoul National University Hospital is too late, please try inquiring at the dermatology departments of other university hospitals or tertiary general hospitals.611026.11.08
