Abstract

Background

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ameliorated insulin injection site rotation on the incidence of Lipohypertrophy (LH) and glycemic control in patients with diabetes.

Methods

A quasi-experimental design involving a pretest-posttest with a control group was utilized at the medical outpatients’ clinic of Sohag University Hospital. The participants were divided into two groups (30 in the study group and 30 in the control group). Two instruments were utilized to collect the data, ., a sociodemographic and clinical data sheet and a lipohypertrophy assessment sheet.

Results

The majority have been found to suffer from type I DM with an insulin injection duration from one to less than 6 months. A significant reduction has been noticed in the lipohypertrophy incidence and grade during the 6-month assessment compared to the pre-intervention assessment.

Conclusion

A marked reduction in the incidence of LH and improved glycemic control have been noted in the study group, indicating the clinical significance of the anti-clockwise insulin site rotation technique.
