Air bubbles in the syringe for insulin injections? - why does an insulin syringe need to be used for insulin
I just started taking insulin for diabetes. I have a pen that you are wrong on the entry of the needle and "brand" of the dose. Everything I read said, that you can achieve with air bubbles, but if it is injected, and there is a bubble? I could see it would be problematic if it went directly into a vein, but that the risk of injecting into the fat?

Why Does An Insulin Syringe Need To Be Used For Insulin Air Bubbles In The Syringe For Insulin Injections?

No danger if you forget. Even if you do not inject a small air bubble, how could insulin injections, nothing to do. It will take more than one cc of air into a vein or artery to cause a stroke. We told them to do, as a precautionary measure, but from time to time will not harm forget!

The things you see in movies and TV are very misleading. Unless a large amount of air that is injected directly into a vein, no problem. Entry into the fatty tissue is slowly absorbed the atmosphere and cause no problem.
I also use an injection device and came to know 2 things:
1) I think they can not easily bubbles intact - without a significant amount of insulin to try in the process, so not even that.
2) When the injection syringe is generally flat or has the tip of the needle down. This means that air bubbles or the tip of the syringe or in the back of the piston. In any case, are quite small that they are not pushed through the needle.
Do not worry.
Thickness in a syringe or insulin pen is usually not fatal, because insulin is injected into the fat, and not an artery or vein. Snmall bubble is absorbed in fat. A large bubble can be painful, but.
However, you want to avoid large air bubbles. If the bubble is less than 1 / 2 "Unit", which will be in order.
The only problem is that bubbles can happen when the bladder is so large that it takes a lot of space with air instead of insulin.
Angry words, I know.
You have the right answer. Because it is injected into a vein, not even a concern.
Nothing good, if they are injected into the fatty tissue. But you may receive an injection of air into a vein light wrong. There is no danger, but just to be sure to tell you about the bubbles
