The ability of a personal care assistant to administer insulin legally depends on the specific regulations and laws of the jurisdiction in question. In some regions, personal care assistants may be permitted to administer insulin under certain circumstances. However, in many jurisdictions, the administration of insulin is restricted to licensed healthcare professionals, such as nurses or certified medical assistants. It is important to consult the local healthcare regulatory authorities or seek guidance from a healthcare professional to determine the specific legal requirements and limitations regarding insulin administration by personal care assistants in a particular jurisdiction.
