Resumo: The study aims to determine the frequency and the type of skin complications related to insulin application, and associate gender, age and education level variables to the identified complications. This transversal study included one hundred insulin users and was carried out at a diabetes center located in Barbalha, Ceará. Data were collected through interviews and observation methods. Results show that 62% of the participants were women, 44% were elderly, 72% had type 2 diabetes, 38% had not finished primary school, 55% self-administrated insulin and 13% presented complications where insulin was injected. The most frequent complication was lipohypertrophy, detected in 54% of the patients. Age and education level were significantly associated with skin complications (p= 0.01 and p=0.006). We conclude that although the guidelines for insulin administration recommend changing the sites of injection, some mistakes still happen. It is necessary to review the strategies of health education adopted by the service and invest in training health professionals

Estudio transversal realizado en un servicio de diabetes localizado en Barbalha, Estado de Ceará, con cien usuarios de insulina. Los datos fueron recogidos mediante entrevista y observación. Los resultados mostraron que 62% eran mujeres, 44% ancianos, 72% diabéticos tipo 2; 38% tenían enseñanza fundamental incompleta, 55% hacían auto aplicación de la insulina y 13% presentaron complicaciones en sus lugares de aplicación, destacándose la lipohipertrofia en 54%. Se encontró asociación estadísticamente significativa entre la edad, la escolaridad y las complicaciones de la piel (p= 0, 01) y (p= 0, 006), respectivamente. Se concluye que, a pesar de las orientaciones suministradas sobre la rotación de los lugares de aplicación de la insulina, todavía ocurren errores. Es necesario evaluar las estrategias de educación en salud adoptadas por el servicio e invertir en la capacitación de los profesionales de saludOs objetivos com esta pesquisa foram conhecer a frequência e o tipo de complicações da pele, relacionadas à aplicação da insulina, e associar as variáveis sexo, idade e escolaridade às complicações identificadas. Este é um estudo transversal realizado em um serviço de diabetes localizado em Barbalha-CE, com cem usuários de insulina. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista e observação. Os resultados evidenciaram que 62% eram mulheres; 44% idosos; 72% diabéticos tipo 2; 38% tinham o ensino fundamental incompleto; 55% faziam a autoaplicação da insulina; e 13% apresentaram complicações nos locais de aplicação da insulina, destacando-se a lipo-hipertrofia em 54%. Encontrouse associação estatisticamente significante entre a idade, a escolaridade e as complicações da pele (p= 0, 01) e (p= 0, 006), respectivamente. Concluiu-se que, apesar das orientações ministradas sobre o rodízio dos sítios de aplicação da insulina, erros ainda continuam ocorrendo.
