There are no studies that show that an alcohol wipes help even a bit.They are a waste of time and money. No reason to buy them.

You do it to avert contamination going into the body wether or not it's the blood flow or now not. You should definatly now not use the equal syringe it is unhygenic and again will definatly intent infection, if you're in health center and also you need to have an injection they at all times have seperate person needles wrapped up becuase anything that is goin to enter the body and sumtimes contact the body (care sensible) will have to be sterile, a health center must by no means ever reuse a needle so why must they? They're simply inflicting harm to her physique and frightening infections, this rather just isn't good. Long term facet results- with no longer wiping the site clean first will have a foul contamination and becuase she is diabetic they're going to be way more vulnerable, notably as the little woman is 10 years of age she will be playing and getting soiled, ensure her or whoever gives the injection have easy hands additionally. Hope this helps a bit gd luck

Your child is getting injections probably as much as four times daily, right? Every time you are taking a foreign object and sicking it through the skin. Anything not cleaned by alcohol can get pushed into the injection site causing an infection. Not only cellulitis, but diabetics have such compromised healing abilities that it could end up a systemic infection with required hospitalization! Type 1 diabetes wrecks havoc on young children. It ages their body too quickly. His or her immune system, kidneys, liver, skin are unfourtunatly that of a much older persons! Please be responsible and help teach this child the proper way to care for themselves!

The reason you use an alcohol swap for insulin (or any) injections is to minimize the chance of infection for the person getting the injection.
Diabetics and others with compromised immune systems can get infections at the drop of a hat. You really don't want to skip the swab on a regular basis, your child could develop an infection and become very ill or die.

i agree with cammie and also, alcohol over time can cause the skin to thicken. Check out the diabetes association website for more info, or ask your team

Probably none. It is such a tiny prick. Kids get larger cuts than that all the time.
