Insulin Injection

A man from Yanji, China, inadvertently injected insulin with the needle cover on for a month. He only realized his mistake after watching an online video, discovering he had skipped the crucial step of removing the protective cap. Despite the improper administration, his blood sugar surprisingly decreased due to diet and exercise. This incident highlights the critical need for better patient education on proper injection techniques, as studies show over 50% of Chinese diabetic patients make similar errors. The story emphasizes the importance of reading instructions and seeking proper guidance to avoid ineffective treatment.
