Effect of injection technique on clinical efficacy of insulin treatment of type 2 diabetes

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of injection technique on clinical efficacy of insulin treatment of type 2 diabetes. Methods 80 patients with type 2 diabetes were randomly divided into two groupe,with 40 cases in each group. The control group received insulin hypodermic injection according to the text book,as well as education of insulin injection, practice guide, training and test. Thepatients were also required to fill in blood glucose document forms and were followed up once a week after discharge. The experimental group received insulin injection according to the evidence-based literatures. Moreover, the patients received insulin injection training and teat, and were discharged after passing the test. The follow-up was oncea week and contained re-training and re-test until the end of the research. One year later, the indexes of blood glucose metabolism and incidence of related complications were compared between the two groups. ResultsThe experimental group (5.93 ± 1.21 mmol/L) presented lower blood glucose level than the control group( 8.35 ±2.44 mmol/L), the difference was statistically significant ( t =1.851, P ＜ 0. 05 ), while the experimental group also exhibited lower indexes of blood glucose metabolism than the control group (P ＜0. 05 for all). There was significant difference of indexes of blood glucose metabolism of the experimental group before and after the intervention ( P ＜ 0. 05). The severity of complication symptoms in the control group was significantly higher than that in the experimental group( P ＜0.05 ). The treatment satisfaction of the control group was significantly lower while the pain degree was higher than the experimental group( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusions Injection technique has an important impact on clinical efficacy of insulin treatment of diabetes. Key words: Evidence-based nursing; Injection technique; Diabetes; Relationship study
