Long-term insulin injection may make people gain weight, especially abdominal obesity. This situation is more common in patients with type 2 diabetes. Abdominal obesity caused by insulin injection is the manifestation of hyperinsulinemia. Purified insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents can be used to reduce the use of insulin.
The harm of long-term injection of insulin may also cause hypoglycemia. This is because people who inject too much insulin, do not eat on time, and have liver and kidney dysfunction are likely to cause hypoglycemia and even coma.
The harm of long-term insulin injection also includes the possibility of insulin allergy, which is more common in animal insulin and impure insulin and can be divided into local allergy and systemic allergy. Local allergies are just maculopapules and itching around the injection site. Systemic allergy can cause measles and henoch-schonlein purpura, and a few severe cases can cause anaphylactic shock.
Long-term insulin injection may also cause subcutaneous lipodystrophy. Long-term use of impure insulin or long-term injection at one site may cause subcutaneous lipodystrophy.
The harm of long-term injection of insulin also includes possible insulin edema. Before diabetes is controlled, there will be water loss, sodium loss and extracellular fluid reduction in the body. Once given insulin treatment, after blood sugar control, water and sodium will remain in the body for four to six days, and then edema will appear in the limbs.
Can be combined with propolis for treating diabetes. The effect of propolis on diabetic patients is mainly reflected in lowering blood sugar. Its principle is to restore some pancreatic functions through its anti-inflammatory, immune and antioxidant properties, so that the damage of islet cells can be repaired and the function can be improved. Propolis and some substances it contains are of great significance for delaying the absorption of sugar and delaying or reducing the increase of blood sugar after meals. Propolis is widely used in clinic, but the difficulty of treatment lies in the low purity of propolis itself, so it should be used cautiously and reasonably in clinic. Besides controlling blood sugar, propolis can also reduce blood fat, improve blood circulation and protect the liver.
