The information is very good, but the visual is bad because we can’t see what the doctor is showing, the table gets on the way!

[@petebromel6865]

I use the BD Autoshield Duo needle where the needle is completely hidden and not visible. Works great for me as I’m unable to poke a needle if I “see” it. After use, the needle is safe to handle as it automatically covers the needle when released and presents no danger. Brilliant product! Hope that helps

[@danielmercier7327]

I have started using insulin since one and a half month approximately. I had many questions and I want to thank you for making this video that has been very helpful to me. Blessings from Mauritius Island

Instead of hiding behind the desk maybe stand up and show people where the injection sites are.

[@sopiaahmad7795]

thanx for information

My 13 year old has insulin injections and he finds the alcohol swabs before and especially after…reduces the sting of the needle 💉

[@prowlie]

This video brought to you by... Coca Cola.. Doritos.. Oreos.. and the fine folks at McDonalds that daily make more and more people diabetic!

[@DrummerGrrrl]

prowlie: What you're saying isn't true. Eating crap food does not cause Type 2 diabetes!! In fact, people who already have Type 2 but don't know it, crave sweets BECAUSE their bodies are not using insulin correctly. It's fun to make assumptions about overweight people and/or crappy food but take it from me, a Type 2 diabetic, once I got my blood sugar under control my cravings for sugar stopped.

[@miancu3]

DrummerGrrrl He’s not making an assumption, it’s a known fact. Type 2 can be hereditary i.e. genetic in nature but two of the most leading causes are lack of physical activity and nutrition. Eating “crap food” most definitely can and does lead to diabetes and is a more common cause than heredity.

[@to40beyond48]

You obviously are not educated on Diabetes. What about those with type 1 who also take insulin shots but their disease is not caused by eating junk food.

[@AlexSmith-px4gy]

Not everyone with T2 is obese

Found the corporate suck ups in the comments.

[@peterbrennick6422]

When a new needle is put on there is AIR IN THERE, I found as much as 6 units, so if you want 20 units, you only get 14 units if you do not fill the needle first, in this video they do NOT fill the needle!!!!!

[@imhoman8423]

there isnt 6 fucking units in a 4mm long needle lol foh

[@Ms_Tania]

@@imhoman8423 lol Shhh!!! Be nice!!! lol

[@bdazzle7843]

I am horribly needle shy, shoot me! I use something cold from the fridge to essentially 'desensitize' the area I will be injecting. (I use water bottle, jello cup, pop bottle, that is cold/not too cold. An ice cube, as above suggested, probably works really good for numbing the site). But finding an area for injections is what I watched this video for. I'll be doing 365 injections a year UNLESS they change me to the 1xWkly, which is only 52 injections per year. (Yeah, a differ of 313 fewer injection sites; and 313 fewer shots!! In closing I want to thank you for this video. I found it extremely informative. Now excuse me while I open and enjoy my jello cup reward.

[@Rome274]

Thankyou for this . Great video

[@bogbel1]

do you have to hold the button in while you're counting to 6?

[@AwayukiBerry]

I'm sorry that I'm saying this three years late, but when I was taught how to inject insulin, I was never told to hold the button when counting to 6 ((well, they said 10 for me)). So I'm assuming you don't have to.

[@SueClone]

I've been injecting insulin in wrong parts for 20 years -_-

[@jessicaortiz7504]

Are you supposed to purge the medication

[@ncrdisabled]

I just seen this video today and just started the long acting insulin 1 week ago. I am very thing as I am 54 5"8 121 lbs . So thin folks can get it to. The problem I have is there is no fat on me. I can not find a place to inject it with hurting bad. I also am needle phobic . Any ideas.

[@dawidsiwak7483]

Use ur leg . I do it in my legs for example

[@sofiakafairyS]

when u injected the insulin without insulin inside of it, u put air inside of ur abdomen. isnt that bad? i mean, it would be better if u would try it full and on a diabetic person if u aint one

[@AlexSmith-px4gy]

Air is fine under the skin. Air is only dangerous in a vein

[@copperheadno2]

shes gorgeous

[@Zabkazabulienka1]

nice video :)

[@beatrizcelestine5281]

does it hurts?

[@bobopatchnosuke229]

It doesn't at all, inject areas with fat.

[@abuanasahmed8496]

👍

[@rosegulakin5614]

i wish she show how to inject on leg.

[@vickirichardt2344]

I think I've been doing this wrong.

[@timchallenge]

Exactly my thought, within seconds the first thing i'm thinking is "wow she's pretty"

[@sheekhalxusayni5713]

Fh

[@grizzlycountry1030]

She's crazy telling you not to use alcohol wipe before injection.
