Subcutaneous injection

Few decades back, people did not have pediatric endocrinologists. Pediatric endocrine disorders were known to be adult endocrinologists. In the present day endocrinologists, however, have focused on individualizing treatment for diabetic patients based on age, physical activity, meal timing, and daily schedule of the patient. Regimens and therapy by various physicians for diabetes management also differs from one another. Two classes of insulin are available for use in T1DM viz. bolus/prandial…

work the morning or evening shift, alternating each week. During the second half of our clinical experience we have had the choice each day to take one or two clients. We are now able to administer oral medications, documentation, subcutaneous and intramuscular injections, prime and administer NS IV’s, and clean wounds. Student Comments: The second half of this semester has been a lot better than the first half in regards to my confidence. There are still some days where either I have lacked…

(Inhaled insulin earns FDA approval, 2006). Hopefully these sorts of alternative treatments will gain efficiency and popularity as time passes. Mainstream insulin therapies that do not require frequent injection would make an enormous impact in regard to people who may have trouble giving/receiving injections. Many individuals contend that DM, both Type One and Type Two, does not have a concrete cure; instead, patients who have diabetes would receive care so advanced that there would be little…

most common types of routes are by inhalation, oral and by injection (subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous. In a brief summary I will discuss each route. Firstly the oral administration being the most common type, which is taken by mouth or by swallowing, is usually in the form of a pill, capsule or liquid. Oral administration is usually the safest, most convenient way to take a drug. Subcutaneous is the easiest of the three injection routes, it absorbs faster than the oral yet slower…

Its peak plasma concentration is 1 to 2 hours and its elimination half-life is usually 80…

large proportion of the Maltese population is diabetic with a high expectancy to increase in the future and with no one in Malta using inhaled insulin. Due to this, this study was performed to compare the efficacy of inhaled insulin compared with subcutaneous injected insulin to see which one offers the best result. 1.4 Background Information Insulin is released by the beta cells of the pancreas and is utilized by the body cells keeping the blood glucose level in the range of 3.9-6.66 mmol/L…

question because I am comparing two different groups and have only one dependent variable. I would use a true experimental design because I am using one control group and one experimental group. My research question is how does receiving subcutaneous injections of insulin compare to receiving insulin through an insulin pump in lowering A1C levels in type 2 diabetics. Quantitative Research Methodology and Steps to Study Problem of Interest Quantitative research is the foundation of…

The patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups. Group I, called the steroid group, received 2 sets of epidural injections one week apart, each injection contained 40 mg methylprednisolone (Depomedrol) with 8 mL lidocaine 0.5% under c-arm at the site of stenosis. Group II, called the calcitonin group, received 2 sets of epidural injections one week apart composed of 40 mg methylprednisolone (Depomedrol) added to 8 mL of 0.5% lidocaine plus 50 international units (IU) of calcitonin…
