Advantages and disadvantages of insulin pen: (1) Advantages: Parents should use syringes to extract insulin from insulin bottles, and children do not need to bring syringes, insulin bottles, sterile cotton and many other things when they leave. You only need to bring a small "pen", and the dosage of insulin is more accurate, which can be adjusted to 1U (the smallest pen unit for children needs 0.5u).
Reducing the dosage of insulin before meals can prevent the overlapping of high-dose short-acting insulin and the average effect in vivo, reduce the occurrence of hypoglycemia, and insulin pump can reduce the complications of diabetic patients. The use of insulin pump reduces the dosage of insulin, saves the medical expenses of patients and reduces the physical pain.
At present, the treatment of diabetes is to use insulin pump. If the insulin pump can be used after discharge, ELA can reduce the number of hospitalizations, avoid frequent fluctuations of blood sugar and delay the occurrence of complications to the maximum extent. Take Novolin 30R as an example, it contains 30% soluble insulin and 70% low protein zinc insulin. Can be used for various diabetic patients, and is basically painless. Your needle is thinner than that of a special insulin syringe, and some patients think that there is no pain after use.
