The suitable parts of the human body for subcutaneous insulin injection are the abdomen, outer thigh, outer arm and buttocks, mainly because there is a layer of subcutaneous fat tissue under these parts that can absorb insulin and there is no more nerve distribution

abdomen:

Abdomen: Abdomen:

Cover the navel with one of the patient's fists (in addition, do not inject insulin, within about 5 cm around the navel), and inject about 1 palm width on both sides of the navel
.

For injection in other parts of the abdomen, the needle is easy to pierce the muscle.

Cover the navel with one of the patient's fists (in addition, do not inject insulin, within about 5 cm around the navel), and inject about 1 palm width on both sides of the navel

arm: arm:

The injection should be done in the lateral quarter of the upper arm (inferolateral arm deltoid muscle)
.

The injection should be done in the lateral quarter of the upper arm (inferolateral arm deltoid muscle)
.

thigh:

Thighs: Thighs:

Should choose anterior or lateral side for thigh injection, avoid insulin needle puncture blood vessels and nerves (because the thigh blood vessels and nerves are distributed on the inner side)
.

Should choose anterior or lateral side for thigh injection, avoid insulin needle puncture blood vessels and nerves (because the thigh blood vessels and nerves are distributed on the inner side)
.

Blood vessel

Buttocks:

Hips: Hips:

The injection site is at least 10 cm from the upper edge of the hip bone (usually the upper outer part of the hip)
.

The injection site is at least 10 cm from the upper edge of the hip bone (usually the upper outer part of the hip)
.

Different injection sites absorb insulin at different rates, and the time required for insulin absorption is:

Different injection sites absorb insulin at different rates, and the time required for insulin absorption is:

The abdomen is the fastest, followed by the arms, buttocks and thighs

The choice of injection site depends on the patient's own condition and the type of insulin used:

The choice of injection site depends on the patient's own condition and the type of insulin used:

Ideal injection site for short-acting human insulin: abdomen;

Ideal injection site for short-acting human insulin: abdomen;

Rapid-acting insulin analogs can be injected anywhere;

Rapid-acting insulin analogs can be injected anywhere;

Medium- and long-acting insulin (such as intermediate-acting insulin injected at bedtime) or long-acting insulin similar to the ideal injection site: thigh, buttocks;

Medium- and long-acting insulin (such as intermediate-acting insulin injected at bedtime) or long-acting insulin similar to the ideal injection site: thigh, buttocks;

Premixed human insulin or premixed insulin is similar to the physical ideal injection site: (morning) abdomen, (evening) thigh or buttocks
.

Premixed human insulin or premixed insulin is similar to the physical ideal injection site: (morning) abdomen, (evening) thigh or buttocks
