With the help of the latest technology, the syringe, needle and vials so familiar to diabetics no longer need to be carried around when multiple injections are necessary. Though the syringe remains the most common method for delivering insulin, advances are being made to simplify the method of delivery. In previous attempts to ease the burden on diabetics, researchers developed an insulin pill but found that enzymes from the stomach broke it down before it delivered the insulin. A patch also proved to be disappointing. Various other methods often proved too complicated or impractical.
A step up from the needle and syringes, and vials of insulin is the prefilled insulin pins. It is easy to cover, injects the correct amount of insulin, and delivered by an item that looks like a cartridge pen. If you need to make multiple injections a day, the insulin pen may be the answer for you. Cartridges are available with the many different forms of insulin available and a dial allows you to inject the needed number of units you need. The tip of the pen is a disposable needle. It punctures the skin just enough to deliver the insulin. Because they are small and disposable, they are easier to carry than regular syringes, insulin, swabs, and needles.
