P harm acy & Your H e a lth Boardman Pharmacy & Hardware 202 1st. N. W. P.O. Box 170 Boardman, Oregon 97818 481-9474 481-7351 (Cleaning the Skin Be fore Injecting Insulin Most diabetics who need insu lin have been taught to prepare and administer their own insulin injec tions. Steps involved in preparing insulin typically include mixing contents of the insulin vial by roll ing the vial in the palms o f the hands. Diabetics also are taught to check the expiration of the vial and carefully read the vial label to make certain the correct strength and type o f insulin is being used. Nurses and other health pro viders teach diabetics to rotate (change) insulin injection sites. If sites are not rotated, there may be a loss or thickening of subcutaneous fat tissue. Either of these changes in the skin around the injection site can interfere with the absorption of insulin. In the past, diabetics were taught to pull the skin taut and use an alcohol swab or cotton soaked in alcohol to clean the skin. It may not be necessary to clean the skin with alcohol before each insulin injection. A recent report in American Pharmacy indicates that washing the skin with soap and water is just as effective as swab bing with alcohol. The report indi cates that soap and water also avoids the sting that sometimes occurs on injection. Diabetics with insulin pumps or those with sup pressed immune systems are in structed to use alcohol to reduce the possibility of local infections. lOOth Anniversary Sunday, June 26 First Christian Church 293 N.
