Skin Blood Perfusion and Cellular Response to Insertion of Insulin Pen Needles With Different Diameters

Abstract: Approximately 382 million people worldwide have diabetes, 1 half of the prevalent cases are not known or diagnosed, half of those diagnosed are not treated, and half of those treated are not controlled. 2,3 One of the reasons for poor treatment compliance is injection anxiety causing 20% of insulin users to sometimes skip their injections, and 10% to restrict their number of injections. 4 As many as 94% of insulin users exhibit symptoms of anxiety, distress, or phobia around blood and injury from injections, 5… Show more

“…When comparing the SBP measurements of the present study to those previously obtained in pigs,14 the peak SBP increases and the AUC differences between different diameter needles are very similar in magnitude and in relation to different needles. Thus, SBP measurements on pigs can be used to predict SBP in humans, enabling future test of needle performance outside of clinical trials.…”

“…24 Nevertheless, in the present study pain score and increase in SBP did not differ significantly between NF-32 and NF-30 needles. In our previous pig study, the magnitude of the SBP increase also related positively to needle diameter with no significant difference between NF-32 and NF-30 needles 14. Thus, an agreement was seen between pain and SBP data in humans and between SBP data in humans and pigs, which implies a relation.…”
