| Summary: |
One of the methods to control
blood sugar level within 2 hours after eating in
patients with diabetes mellitus is by providing
proper insulin injection (proper dose, proper
method, proper time and proper location)
Objective: To determine the eff ective location
and time of insulin injection on the control of
blood sugar level within 2 hours after eating in
patients with diabetes mellitus.
Method: This is an experimental research with
the design of randomized complete block
design (RCBD). Patients with IDDM type of
Diabetes mellitus in Bantul Regency became
the population in this research; meanwhile
the samples used were 60 respondents taken
by Simple Random Sampling and they were
divided into 4 blocks. The respondents were
injected by using analogue type insulin with
daily dose on four sites (abdominal, deltoid,
thighs, gluteus) and time of the provision (0, 10,
20 and 30 minutes before eating). The blood
sugar level within two hours after eating was
measured by using a glucometer.
Result: The result of the analysis of two-way
ANOVA and Tukey HSD indicates that there is a
diff erence in blood sugar level within two hours
after eating in patients with diabetes mellitus
to whom insulin injection is performed on
abdominal, deltoid, thigh and gluteus location
(p= 0.000). There is a diff erence in blood sugar
level within two hours after eating in patients
with diabetes mellitus to whom insulin injection
is performed within 0,10,20 and 30 minutes
before eating (p= 0.000). The most eff ective
location and time for insulin injection is in the
abdomen in 0 minutes before eating.
Conclusion: Insulin injection which is performed
on abdominal location in 0 minute is eff ective
to control blood sugar level within two hours
after eating
