Abstract: AIM:To observe the effects of subcutaneous and intraperitoneal injection for insulin on the rats with Type II diabetes. METHODS: Kk mice with fasting blood sugar level higher than 20 mmol/L was set as Type II diabetes model and divided into subcutaneous injection group (s. c. group, n =6) and intraperitoneal injection group (i. p. group, n =6) with different dosis of insulin, and the tail blood sugar levels were monitored for two continuous hours after administration. RESULTS:Under non-fasting condition, the blood sugar levels of s. c. group and i. p. group were (32. 0 ±1. 5), (31. 0 ±1. 5) mmol/L, respectively before insulin injection, and were decreased gradually after injecting. When insulin dose was not sufficient, the blood sugar level was at the bottom at the 30th minutes, and then went upwards gradually. When the dose was appropriate, the blood sugar level was at normal level at the 30th minutes, and then went upwards gradually after maintaining a certain time. When insulin was overdose, the blood sugar level was below normal level and decreased gradually and slowly. The dose-response curve was drawn according to the blood sugar level at the point of 30 minutes. When the insulin dose was in the range of 1. 1-1. 7 U/kg, the blood sugar level could be stably controlled within normal scope(5. 1 ± 0. 2) mmol/L in i. p. group, and the dose-response curve showed an obvious plateau phase. The dose-response curve showed a linear relation with the blood sugar level in the range of 2. 1-9. 2 mmol/L in s. c. group. The effective dose scope of insulin intraperitoneal injection was ±21% of the subcutaneous injection dose. CONCLUSION:Compared with subcutaneous injection, ntraperitoneal injection can control blood sugar level more stably, cause less fluctuation and a lower chance of hypoglycemia.
