KBN 2014
KBN 2014
If the sugar stays in your blood – it doesn’t do your cells (body) any good.
The sugar has to get inside the cells for the body to use it.
Why is Insulin so Important?
KBN 2014
Insulin is like a key that opens up the door and allows the sugar to get out of the
blood and inside the cell where the cell can “burn” the fuel for energy!
Why is Insulin So Important?
Insulin in Schools Today
Most students with diabetes take insulin at school
O Insulin dosing is specific to individual students and dosing changes may occur
O Student’s need for assistance will vary as the student progresses in self- management
O Insulin dosing and timing will be specified by the treating health care provider/DMMP
O The DMMP includes provisions for modifying the insulin dose
KBN 2014
Definitions
Basal Insulin:O Sometimes called “background” insulinO The insulin that is working steadily throughout the day O Like using the cruise control on a car to keep the speed
steady.
KBN 2014
DefinitionsBolus Insulin
O A single dose of insulin, given for one of two reasonsOCarb/Meal/Snack Bolus: amount of insulin which
is given when food is eatenOCorrection Bolus: amount of insulin which is

O Like stepping on the accelerator to give it more gas

Where to Give Insulin: On Target!
KBN 2014
O Inject into fat layer under skin
O Rotate sitesO Student should choose site
O Common sites: abdomen, thigh buttocks, upper arms
Diabetes.org Safe at Schools
Injection Sites
O Each area absorbs insulin at different rates.
O Avoid injecting around belly button, in skin that is scarred, or in skin that has visible blood vessels.
O Move at least 1 inch from the last place given.
O Exercise can effect the rate of absorption.

Insulin Pumps/Pods
KBN 2014
KBN 2014
Insulin DeliveryO External insulin pumps connect to
narrow, flexible plastic tubing that ends with a needle inserted just under the skin
O The insulin pump delivers both basal and bolus doses of insulin

Insulin Delivery
O An insulin pen is a device that looks like a pen with a cartridge.
http://www.childrenwithdiabetes.com http://www.childrenwithdiabetes.com
Insulin Pens
O Techniques for dosing and insulin delivery are similar for both types of pen devices:
Prefilled pensReusable (cartridge) pens
O Both long-acting or basal insulin and rapid-acting or bolus insulin are available in pens
O Most students will only take rapid-acting or bolus insulin in school
KBN 2014
Insulin Pen: Preparation
1. Gather supplies. Verify insulin typeO open device (with cartridge)O pen needle
2. Have student choose injection site3. Clean injection site 4. Screw needle onto pen
KBN 2014
Insulin Pen: Dosing
5. Prime: Dial “2” units. If the pen is being used for the first time, prime 4-6 units as per manufacturer’s instruction
6. Hold upright. Remove air by pressing the plunger. Repeat “Prime” if no insulin shows at end of needle
7. Dial number of units to be administered as ordered in DMMP
KBN 2014
Insulin Pen: Injecting
8. Administer the injection9. Push down on the plunger10. Count to “5” remove needle from tissue11. Remove and dispose of pen needle12. Complete the needed documentation
