Initiation of insulin therapy can be challenging for patients; proper training should be given by physicians and certified educators to ensure correct and safe use for outpatient population. Different insulin strengths are now available in the US; while U-40 insulin does not exist in the United States for humans, it is a very common strength used in animals. We are reporting a 30-year-old male that became insulin dependent after hospitalization for necrotizing pancreatitis who was using U-40 syringes to draw from the prescribed insulin U-100 and also presented with repeated hypoglycemic episodes.
启动胰岛素治疗对患者来说可能具有挑战性；医生和经过认证的教育工作者应提供适当培训，以确保门诊患者正确、安全地使用胰岛素。目前美国有不同强度的胰岛素；虽然美国已不再生产用于人类的U - 40胰岛素，但它是动物常用的一种强度。我们报告了一名30岁男性，他因坏死性胰腺炎住院后开始依赖胰岛素治疗，使用U - 40注射器抽取处方的U - 100胰岛素，并且反复出现低血糖发作。
