2. WHAT IS AN INJECTION
AREA?
 |
Areas on the body where people can inject insulin
most easily are:
A. The front and the outside
of the thighs.
B. The abdomen, except the area around the navel.
(2-inch circle).
C. The upper and outer areas of the arms.
D. The area just above the waist on the back.
E. The buttocks. These areas can vary with the
size of the person. |

3. WHAT IS AN INJECTION SITE?
An injection site is an exact place
within a given injection area. The
injection site is the place within an area, were the
needle will penetrate the skin into the subcutaneous
tissue.

4. HOW MANY SITES CAN BE USED WITH
THE INJECTION LOCATOR?
An individual selects from one of 186
self-injecting sites or 403 assisted-injection sites.
Herewith eliminating the guessing game, when you choose
- within 5 seconds - a new injection
site, in a given injection area.
(Back To The Top)
5. HOW MANY INJECTION AREAS ARE ON
THE HUMAN BODY?
See Answer 2, each
has a right and a left site, therefore the total is
2 x 5 = 10 areas.
(Back To The Top)
6. WHAT IS TISSUE DAMAGE?
Given the fact that persons
with diabetes may have to inject insulin several
times each day, it is not surprising that the subcutaneous
(skin) tissue may become callused, toughened or painful.
Unmistakably with every injection tissue damage will
occur. This tissue damage may cause that the insulin
be absorbed and distributed at an uneven rate. Regular
and systematically rotation of the injection
sites within a given injection area is strongly
recommended. With the Injection Locator you are able
to evenly space, rotate and separate your injection
sites, permitting you to stipulate the exact choice
of one of many hundreds of injection sites in an organized
matter, hereby archiving a 100 % absorption and an even
distribution of your injected insulin. The Injection
Locator is designed to help people with diabetes keep
track of their used injection sites and ensure that
the next injection is always placed in fresh healthy
tissue.

7. WHY TO USE AN INJECTION LOCTOR?
We very much appreciate a person's
opinion or point of view in the management of diabetes;
we believe that after years of research in this topic,
we have formed an educated opinion in the management
of diabetes, especially in regard to "injection
site separation". In the first place this is
not intended to be a scare tactic, but an explanation
of the pure facts, developed over and during our period
of research and 17 prototypes since 1985. It demanded
our attention why some insulin dependant diabetics die
in the prime of their life, to name a couple of real
tragedies; a father of two daughters passed away after
suffering a heart attack, he was just 46 years old,
a computer technician died after many amputations from
kidney disease, he was only 37 years old, a beautiful
girl of 19 years passed away in her sleep, and we can
go on and on. They all depended on insulin in the management
of their diabetes.
Also See: Why Use
In Diabetes: "Prevention"
is the most important single word!!
Complications as a result of diabetes
CAN and must be avoided at any cost and effort. These
complications are; Cardiovascular diseases such as heart
attacks and stroke, blindness, kidney disease, limb
amputations, erectile difficulties and very slow (longer
as 3 weeks) healing wounds and sores. If you take into
account the illnesses, that have diabetes as the underlying
cause, diabetes becomes one of the leading causes of
death. It is a silent killer and it is the most ignored
disease mankind knows because it is not painful, you
do not see it and you do not feel it.
Diabetics worldwide have been injecting
insulin for 80 years without seriously practicing injection
site separation. To compare; you do not need to change
the oil or water in your car on a regular basis, but
by doing so, you will avoid wear and tear on your car
at a heavy expense, and would make the car last longer.
So it is with the management of your diabetes, by rotating
injection sites on a regular basis herewith achieving
a better 100% absorption and a proper, even distribution
of the insulin in fresh and healthy tissue you will
avoid wear and tear on your body at a very heavy expense,
slowly deteriorating the human body with the above described
complications resulting in a variety of related illnesses.
It is unquestionable that with every
injection, tissue damage occurs. When a person with
diabetes places the insulin injections repeatedly in
the same area, the absorption and distribution of the
injected insulin is subject to impairment resulting
in an increased need for more and more insulin to obtain
the same result to balance the glucose levels.
It is estimated that about 27% of all
diabetics do not recognize that they even have the disease.
Ignorance or even denial will turn a manageable disease
into a situation with results that are irrevocable.
Many times the excuse is; "if I had known this
before" I would have done it differently!
With the use of the Injection Locator
a diabetic is able to separate the injection sites (403)
in a given injection area (10). This innovative idea
creates the possibility to keep the injection sites
always 2-½ centimeters (1 inch) apart, hereby
achieving 100% absorption in perfectly healthy tissue.
The Injection Locator will allow an even distribution
of the injected insulin throughout the body resulting
in a more even balance of the blood glucose levels.
Using the Injection Locator may prevent, or at least
delay the onset of the complications of diabetes, such
as heart failure, stroke, kidney disease, blindness,
limb amputations, erectile difficulties and very slow
(longer as 3 weeks) healing wounds and sores.
Doctors, diabetes health-care professionals
and diabetes associations are always advising their
diabetic patients strongly, that they should rotate
insulin injection sites. It takes 4 to 6 weeks for skin
tissue to heal, 2 to 4 months if the diabetes management
is out of control. It's hard to remember exactly where
you injected yesterday, let alone a month ago.
Once a person with diabetes become
familiar with the use of the Injection Locator, it takes
less than 5 seconds to choose an injection site out
of the many hundreds available. You buy an Injection
Locator only once; it will add only 1/2 of a penny on
top of the 8 to 15 dollars an insulin dependant diabetic
spends towards the maintenance of the disease daily.
We sincerely hope that the Injection
Locator will help you as it helped us during the last
17 years of the development, using the Injection Locator
became for us "second nature".

(SHE IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD) CAN SHE USE
THE INJECTION LOCATOR?
Yes, she will be able to manage that
task surprisingly well as long she is able to read and
write to 31 (the day’s of the month). Show her
the movie on the tape or CD Rom a couple of times and
she will catch on really quickly.
(Back To The Top)
9. WHY DID YOU DEVELOP THE INJECTION
LOCATOR?
PREVENTION is the most important single
word in regard to diabetes self-management. We believe
that we CAN master Diabetes and we must avoid diabetic
complications at any cost. Most Diabetics (Type I and
Type II) overlook the condition of the skin and the
subcutaneous tissue, which is essential for the administration
of the injected insulin.
With this in mind, a small group of
Insulin Dependent Diabetics realized (in 1985), that
with every insulin injection at the injection site,
tissue damage occurred. Proper insulin absorption into
healthy subcutaneous tissue
and even distribution throughout the body is a very
good way of helping diabetics to improve the management
of this disease.
For this reason, doctors, diabetes
educators and health care professionals advise their
patients to rotate injection sites, - within a given
injection area. This enables the blood sugar to remain
in the normal range and ultimately reduces the complications
such as vision problems resulting in blindness, cardiovascular
disease, nerve damage, kidney disease, erectile difficulties
and amputations, arising from diabetes and prolongs
a diabetic’s life.
However, keeping count of the previously
used injection sites in a given injection area is very
often neglected. To separate a new injection site and
at the same time avoid the sites used for recent injections
is very important. This allows the tissue time to heal
before the patient administers another injection in
the same site. It takes about four to six weeks for
the damaged tissue to heal properly (2 to 4 months if
the disease management is out of control) and it is
very difficult to remember where a needle was inserted
yesterday, let alone last month.
With that knowledge, we made the decision
to develop a device to assist our group of Insulin Dependent
Diabetics - and for that matter other persons with diabetes
- to better control the separation of their injection
sites. Now eighteen years (2003) and seventeen prototypes
later, the project has been completed. Having used our
own bodies as test sites, our group discovered that
by using the “Injection Locator” we achieved
a smooth insulin absorption and even insulin distribution
throughout the body.
The “Injection Locator”
is a totally new and unique device in the field of diabetes
management and control. The “Injection Locator”
is a tremendous help to Insulin Dependent Diabetics,
permitting them to stipulate the exact choice of one
of many hundreds of injection sites (Link it to
Q 2)with ease and rapidity, resulting in a consistent
and systematic rotation of the sites of their insulin
injections.
The “Injection Locator”
helps diabetics evenly space their injection sites 2½
centimeter (one inch) apart enabling the insulin to
be properly absorbed and evenly distributed throughout
the body. This in turn allows it to be the most effective
way in keeping the Diabetics blood glucose within the
normal range. It is easy to avoid yesterdays or last
week’s injection site, because all what you need
is the date.
“Persons with Diabetes developed
this unique device for other Diabetics”. This
incredibly simple and easy to use compliance tool allows
the patient the freedom to use it anywhere, anytime
because it is lightweight and portable. Using the “Injection
Locator” is simple and easy. Within five seconds,
a diabetic patient chooses an injection site out of
186 available sites in the Upper legs and
Abdomen stretching the healing time for the tissue
to six months, based on one injection a day.
If the diabetic patient has assistance
from someone else to administer the insulin injections,
other areas may also be used including Upper
Arms, Lower Back or Buttocks, stretching the healing
time for the tissue to an additional seven months, based
on one injection a day. This system creates a maximum
of 403 different injection sites in ten (10) different
injection areas.
All diabetics using insulin, who are
currently struggling to balance their glucose levels,
or are "running out of injection
sites”, will have long term benefits with
the use of the “Injection Locator” to avoid
or at least delay the onset of diabetic complications.
With the use of this device, they will be able to make
their lives easier.
The purpose of the “Injection
Locator” is to focus and promote “injection-site
separation” that must be practiced with subcutaneous
injections. Subcutaneous injections are administered
not only by insulin dependent diabetics but also by
patients with such ailments as Hepatitis C, certain
Allergies, Multiple Sclerosis, H.I.V. (Aids) and particular
types of Cancer Patients receive treatments in which
subcutaneous injections are used to administer the necessary
drugs.
Herewith the “Injection Locator”
became an incredibly simple and versatile product. This
tremendous simple compliance tool is especially useful
in different Hospital, Healthcare or Home care environments,
- because of the ever-changing nursing staff scheduling,
- everyone would know the exact location of a subcutaneous
injection which was previously administered.

10. WHY IS SEPARATION OF INJECTION
SITES SO IMPORTANT?
With each and every injection into
the subcutaneous tissue, damage in this tissue will
unmistakably occur. It will take 4 to 6 weeks for the
tissue to repair the damage created. Make sure that
you always inject your insulin in fresh
and healthy subcutaneous tissue, by doing so you achieve
a complete absorption and an even distribution of your
dose of insulin. A complete absorption and an even distribution
through healthy tissue, make it sometimes possible that
you are able to reduce the amount of insulin you require.
In the study ( Question 34) is established
that 65% of all participants of this study had created
tissue damage. We believe that systematically separation
of injection sites is the foundation of your Diabetes
management.
(Back To The Top)
11. I AM ON THE INSULIN
PUMP; DO I ALSO NEED TO SEPRATE INJECTION SITES? (I
ONLY CHANGE THE NEEDLE EVERY 2, 3 DAYS)
Whatever your method of insulin injection
is – syringe, insulin pen or insulin pump –
site rotation is a must, however there are differences;
with a insulin pump the amounts of insulin are very
small but the time that the insulin infusion is happening
is very long (48 to 72 hours) by that time the subcutaneous
tissue is “exhausted” of absorbing insulin
and therefore another injection site must be chosen.
To give the tissue the time to recover (a minimum of
4 to 6 weeks) site rotation must be practiced seriously.
In this time of 4 to 6 weeks about 20 different injection
sites are required to give the damaged tissue the minimum
time necessary to recover. The injection area is most
times restricted to the abdomen only, and the old issue
still stands “can you remember where you injected
the insulin 5 weeks ago”? Possibly not! Therefore
the Injection Locator is a comprehensive simple tool
to remember it for you (60 different sites as a minimum
representing about 4 months)
(Back To The Top)
12. HOW MANY INJECTION LOCATORS MUST
I BUY?
(CONTROLLING MY DIABETES IS ALREADY SO EXPENSIVE!)
You only buy one Injection Locator
in your lifetime. It will add only 1/2 of a penny on
top of the 8 to 15 dollars an insulin dependant person
with diabetes spends towards the maintenance of the
disease daily. We believe it is a bargain, if you ultimately
can avoid, delay or reduce the complications of Diabetes.
The complications of Diabetes are:
- vision problems resulting in blindness
- cardiovascular disease
- nerve damage
- kidney disease
- erectile difficulties
- limb amputations
For a minimal cost it is possible
to avoid, delay or reduce the complications of Diabetes
and prolonging your life as a person with diabetes.

38. WHY ARE MY INSULIN INJECTIONS
HURTING SOMETIMES?
That may have one of the following
reasons;
-
Your insulin is too cold. / Answer:
Warmed it up in your hands.
-
You are hitting the muscles. /
Answer: Inject in an angle. OR; Use a shorter needle.
-
You are hitting a nerve. / Answer:
Touch with the needle the injection site, If you
feel pain, go 1/16 Inch (2 mm) to the Right or Left

39. WHEN
I DRAW INSULIN INTO THE SYRINGE, SOMETIMES, THERE ARE
AIR BUBBLES IN THE SYRINGE. HOW CAN I CORRECT THIS PROBLEM?
If you would like to do it the proper
way, without bubbles, this is the way to do it:
-
Put the amount of air in the syringe,
even, with the amount of insulin you need.
-
Keep the vial of insulin low and
the syringe on top and put the air in the vial.
The black rubber plunger in the syringe
has two (2) black lines,
-
Press the plunger so far
down as you can; now you see three (3) lines.
-
Holt it like this while
you turn the vial on top of the syringe and let
go.
-
Now pull the plunger up and draw
your insulin, you see…… no air in
the syringe!
-
No finger tapping against the
syringe anymore, to remove the air bubbles!
Don’t worry; even a lot of Health
Care Professionals do not know how to do it!

44. WHO MAY USE THE INJECTION
LOCATOR?
The Injection Locator is a simple
compliance tool for everyone to use, all persons with
diabetes, Type1 as well as Type 2 may use the Injection
Locator for regular and systematically separating subcutaneous
insulin injections sites in a given injection area.
The Injection Locator is available in one size only
and fits everybody, babies (2 inner lines – 2
weeks per area), children, teenagers (4 inner lines
– 4 weeks per area), and adults (all 6 lines –
6 weeks per area). The Injection Locator is especially
useful in Homecare, Extended Health Care and Hospital
environments because of the always changing staff scheduling,
with the use of the Injection Locator every healthcare
professional or caretaker (i.e. family member) would
know the exact location of the previous injection. The
individual selects from one of 186 self-injecting sites
or 403 assisted-injection sites. Herewith eliminating
the guessing game, when you choose - within 5 seconds
- a new injection site, in a given injection area.

45. CAN
I USE THE INJECTION LOCATOR ALSO FOR OTHER SUBCUTANEOUS
INJECTED MEDICINES?
With recent developments in medicine,
researchers have discovered new ways of controlling
the effects of Multiple Scleroses (MS), certain Cancers,
Hepatitis C, some Allergies and HIV (Aids) with injections
- at regular intervals - of medicines into the subcutaneous
tissues of the body. These new technical applications
