Abstract

Insulin administration is one of the important aspects in diabetes education. This study focuses on skin site complications related to insulin application. Fifty-one people with diabetes mellitus were interviewed at a private institution in São Paulo State. Results showed that hematomas were the most frequent complication and that they mainly resulted from the use of incorrect application techniques. It was concluded that health professionals must design effective strategies in order to provide safety to subjects and prevent skin complications.
