Introduction
If you rely on insulin pod therapy, the process of changing pods is routine but not without its common, daily challenges.
One common concern is the risk of skin irritation and wounds associated with adhesive removal and application during pod changes. To address this issue, Lavior Diabetic Wound Dressing emerges as a promising solution for diabetic wound care.
Here we explore the significance of proper wound care during insulin pod changes and the benefits you obtain when employing Lavior products for this purpose, as well as combining it with adequate diabetic pod care and cleaning to diminish the risk of infections.
The Importance of Wound Prevention
Insulin pump therapy has revolutionized diabetes management, offering precise insulin delivery and flexibility.
However, frequent pod changes can lead to skin irritation, redness, and even wounds due to adhesive residues left on the skin and repetitive application. These issues not only cause discomfort but also compromise skin integrity, potentially leading to infections and complications.
Effective wound prevention strategies are crucial to mitigate these risks and ensure the continuity of insulin pump therapy. By prioritizing skin health in the form of dressing application during pod changes, you can maintain optimal treatment outcomes and achieve an increase in your quality of life.
Aspects to Consider With Insulin Pod Placement
- Refrain from applying the insulin pod on irritated, swollen skin, open wounds, scabs, or cuts
- Ensure optimal insulin absorption by rotating application sites, avoiding overuse of anyone in particular
- Position the pod flatly on the body, avoiding curved areas for secure attachment
- Choose application sites carefully to prevent discomfort or accidental dislodgement, steering clear of skin folds or areas directly under waistbands
How to Attach Your Insulin Pod Correctly
- Carefully position the pod on the skin to prevent creasing of the adhesive pad
- Glide your finger around the adhesive 2-3 times to verify its secure attachment to the skin
- Following cannula insertion, maintain firm pressure on the pod with the palm of your hand for 10-20 seconds to fully secure the adhesive to the skin
