Default Insulin Primer

Many diabetics fear Insulin. MAny fear the shot. OMG the shot. But what is the shot? Its nothing.

No gigantic needles, no gigantic syringes, no gigantic amounts of insulin.
So why the fear. Its many thigs, and lack of information is the biggest fear. INsluin actually is better control and allows for more food freedom than oraal medications.

One ofthe things many ahve to reaize is that as hot does not into the muscle. It goes into the fat layer. So IT DOESNT HURT.

A shot is doen by PInching up the skin and placing the syringe needle, which is very very short into the pinch of skin.
And then push the plunger and your done. about 2.4 second to complete the procedure if that long.
The longest thing is calculating how much insulin.
