Insulin is stored in a cartridge inside the pen and the number of units is dialled up and then the dose is given.
Insulin pens are easier to use when in a social setting.
The attachable needles are available in various sizes.
When using an insulin pen it is advised to leave the needle in the injected site for a few seconds after injection to ensure complete delivery.
Always follow the manufactures instructions.
The cartridges are available with quick acting, intermediate acting and pre mixed insulins.
However there is a disadvantage in the Diabetes Insulin Pen in that you are not able to mix two different insulins in the same pen.
Also having a back up pen is essential.
