Injection Ports vs Single-Use Needles for Insulin in Pregnancy: Effects on Adherence and Satisfaction
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Gestatiaonl Diabetes Mellitus, Pregnancy, Diabetes in Pregnancy, Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin
In brief
This study wants to find out if using an injection port to give insulin during pregnancy helps people take their insulin more regularly and feel better about their care. When someone has diabetes during pregnancy, it's very important to keep their blood sugar levels in a healthy range. This usually means checking blood sugar often and giving insulin through shots. But giving many shots each day can be hard and uncomfortable. An injection port is a small device placed on the skin that lets patients give insulin through the same spot without poking themselves each time. This may make taking insulin easier and less painful. Feeling comfortable with how insulin is given may help people stick to their treatment plan and have better health during pregnancy. Injection ports have already helped other patients, including pregnant people who needed other medications, but they haven't been studied for insulin use during pregnancy. This study will look at how pregnant patients with diabetes feel about using injection ports for insulin.
