Diabetes is a serious disease that occurs when an individual or does not produce enough insulin (type 1 diabetes) or the abuse of the processes of insulin (type II) diabetes mellitus. Because these metabolic defects, individuals with diabetes can not effectively regulate blood sugar, the key processes of the body. To adjust this, type I diabetes must take daily insulin injections to survive, while type II diabetes, may regulate blood sugar well enough to survive, but the injections of insulin would greatly facilitate their ability to maintain normal levels of blood sugar, which allows them to enjoy better health.






Almost 40% if those who are already suffering from type II diabetes will depend on time after injections of insulin to achieve adequate levels of glucose in the blood, which are necessary for their survival. The molecule of insulin is injected and can not be delivered in pill form.

The correct dose of insulin varies according to each individual and depends on the person's body weight and BMI or fat to muscle ratio in body composition. The amount of physical activity for people, and the level of fitness will also affect the right amount of insulin to administer. Other factors that may influence includes a special diet or daily nutritional needs, general health and any drugs taken simultaneously. The dose of insulin needed is itself influenced by the level of the individual stress and emotional state. Therefore, the amount of insulin needed by different people vary quite considerably. Configure the correct dosage is further complicated by the different needs of individuals with regard to time of day when their blood sugar has the largest change. In addition, some diabetics require more than one type of insulin.

blood sugar in the blood Many diabetics can be controlled with insulin injections per day, while most require two or more administrations of insulin if spaced every day to maintain normal glucose levels. Note that a diabetic who needs more than one insulin injection a day is not necessarily a more serious case of diabetes, which is simply the best glucose control for this individual. If fact, the person who keeps blood sugar all day, which is closer to normal, regardless of the number of rounds per day, usually fares better in terms of progression of the disease a person insulin using fewer, but always or blood sugar or who feel the ups and downs of blood sugar for a day.

When a patient begins taking insulin, he could have predicted that the physician to modify the program or change the dose of insulin is dictated by the results of glucose in the blood until the best results achieved or the individual. Your doctor will explain the complexity of the special treatment that was diagnosed. It 'important that patients are to understand why insulin should be given time to achieve and maintain the best results in blood sugar. And 'the best interest of the patient to comply fully with this treatment and the physician's work to develop to fit the patient's daily routine.

It simplifies things to know that the molecule of insulin and its preparations are stable at room temperature. If the insulin is stored between 36 and 86 degrees, it can take up to a month. The product should be kept away from sunlight at all times. If the storage is more than 30 days, the insulin should be refrigerated but never frozen. To avoid possible problems, refrigerated product must be able to come to room temperature before injecting groped. Insulin can be damaged if the storage temperature exceeds the area of all insulin recommended and should be discarded when the expiration date. Open bottles of insulin should be discarded after 3 months of cold storage, regardless of the final and the opening of the bottles, which are stored at room temperature, within thirty days, must be destroyed.

Insulin is measured in "units" and the most popular type of insulin to the United States has 100 units of insulin per milliliter of preparation. These solutions are labeled as "U-100", while the amount of insulin or concentration. Each of these bottles contains 10 militants preparing liters with a total of 1000 units of insulin and is characterized by an orange hat.
