Diabetes has now become an epidemic. With the development of the world economy and the change of people’s lifestyle and the aging of the population, the global prevalence of diabetes is increasing year by year, and we have begun to pay more and more attention to diabetes, insulin as a common drug for diabetics, many people only pay attention to the precautions of insulin injection, often ignore the treatment of needles after use, the following Boyue will briefly introduce to you.

1. After injecting insulin, the used needle must be removed in time, otherwise it may increase the possibility of biological contamination, and with the change of temperature, the drug liquid may have the possibility of flowing out, and another possibility is to enter the air, which will cause changes in insulin concentration, resulting in inaccurate injection dose. It is also possible that the drug solution may block the needle due to leakage, which will seriously affect the treatment effect.

2. A sharps box should be prepared specifically for sharp objects. After insulin injection, do not litter the used syringes and needles and discard them directly into this container. After the container is 2/3 full, close the lid, seal it, attach a label, and put it in the designated place. Healthcare workers should inform patients starting insulin about proper handling of needles, not allowing needles to enter the public waste system, and preventing potential risks, such as scratching young children in the home.

3. In addition, in order to ensure safety, it is strictly forbidden to reuse needles, reuse of needles may not only spread diseases, but also may cause tissue microtrauma, needle tip partially or completely left in the body, increased incidence of subcutaneous fat induration, injection pain and other consequences.

Finally, we need to properly dispose of the needles after insulin injection, which can protect your health to the greatest extent, and after the needles are used, the correct way is to place them in the sharps box, which needs to be sealed after two-thirds full.
