Subcutaneous injection versus subcutaneous infusion of insulin: Are the rates of absorption truly the same?

Abstract

The aspects discussed here highlight possible factors that afect SC tissue insulin absorption rates of insulin depending on the type of administration. Only the performance of adequately designed studies examining these factors and how they interact to influence absorption rates will clarify this issue. Until then, it is prudent to advise patients that there might be diferences in the efects of identical doses of insulin that are delivered by different methods. © Diabetes Technology Society.
