“…18 It can also measure the thickness of subcutaneous fat and the proportion of hypertrophic tissue, facilitating graded interventions based on the degree of damage. [19][20][21] It is worth noting that relying solely on visual and tactile examinations for screening may lead to a high rate of missed diagnoses and imprecise diagnostic locations. Patients continuing to inject at positive sites may further exacerbate fat tissue hypertrophy, leading to serious consequences such as adverse blood glucose events, worsening blood glucose control, increased insulin requirements, and increased medical costs, consistent with the results of this study.…”

Objective This study aims to investigate the clinical application value of high-frequency ultrasound technology in diagnosing subcutaneous lipohypertrophy at insulin injection sites in diabetes patients. Methods All diabetes patients treated in our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected as the study subjects. The incidence of subcutaneous lipohypertrophy was calculated at the end of the study period. All patients were screened, and those meeting the inclusion criteria were registered, and basic data were collected. Patients were screened for subcutaneous lipohypertrophy using conventional clinical examination (control group) and high-frequency ultrasound technology (study group). Results The study found that the incidence of subcutaneous lipohypertrophy in diabetes patients receiving insulin injections in our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 was 80.99%. The average longitudinal diameter of subcutaneous lipohypertrophy in these patients was 11.66 (7.56, 21.44) mm, the transverse diameter was 12.04 (8.96, 18.29) mm, depth was (5.62±2.17) mm, and the area was 188.79 (76.85, 331.78) mm². The clinical detection rate in the study group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The quantity of detected sites was greater in the study group compared to the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence of subcutaneous lipohypertrophy in diabetes patients receiving insulin injections is relatively high clinically, and high-frequency ultrasound technology demonstrates significant potential in diagnosis. By providing high-resolution imaging and quantitative data, it effectively improves the clinical detection rate and clarifies symptoms. This technology is likely to become an important auxiliary tool in future diabetes treatment, providing more precise treatment plans for patients.
