To assess the accuracy and reproducibility of various U100 insulin syringes in the hands of diabetics, we devised a method to measure individual insulins injected from the syringe. We found alarming inaccuracies with dead-space-containing syringes when two insulins were mixed in the syringe before injection; these errors exceeded 100% with low doses. Reproducibility of dose was also poor with dead-space syringes. Syringes with minimal dead space overcome these problems and we recommend that all diabetics who mix insulins should use these syringes.
为评估各种U100胰岛素注射器在糖尿病患者手中的准确性和可重复性，我们设计了一种方法来测量从注射器中注射出的个体胰岛素量。我们发现，在注射前将两种胰岛素在注射器中混合时，含死腔的注射器存在惊人的不准确性；低剂量时这些误差超过100%。死腔注射器的剂量可重复性也很差。死腔最小的注射器克服了这些问题，我们建议所有混合胰岛素的糖尿病患者应使用这些注射器。
