Injection ports vs needles for insulin in pregnancy
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of giving insulin injections during pregnancy: using a small port that stays on the skin versus using a new needle for each shot. It aims to see which method is easier to stick with and more comfortable for pregnant women with diabetes.
