Summary
This updated video explains how insulin works in the body and helps patients understand that they may need insulin to keep their glucose in a healthy range. It helps patients feel comfortable with taking insulin every day and explains insulin’s action (onset, peak, and duration). The video covers using insulin safely, including storage of insulin, record-keeping, hypoglycemia, and how to handle sick days. The DVD allows you to access chapters individually, so that you can review specific information with patients.
The main program is 15 minutes 10 seconds.
There is a separate chapter after the main program on Amylin. That chapter is 2 minutes 55 seconds.
