[QUOTE="thelma W, post: 2423135, member: 546362"] Insulin pens for diabetes are widely used in most countries, with the exception of the United States where vials, injections and syringes are the preferred tools for insulin injection. They come in different sizes ranging from 1.5 ml to 3.0 ml. Types of insulin pens: There are several manufacturers of insulin pens that allow users to have a variety of options. There are pre-filled pens that are generally recommended for type 2 diabetics. These pens have a pre-mixed insulin dosage, which makes it easier for users to determine how much insulin to use. These pens are disposable and must be replaced when the insulin cartridge is empty. The disadvantage of this type of pen is that it does not allow for adjustment of exercise and diet. The other type of pen is the durable pen. It uses replaceable insulin cartridges that are only discarded when their contents are completely used up. Once a new cartridge is in place, the pen is ready for use again. Insulin pens with built-in memory allow users to store the time, date and amount of the dose. This makes it easier for users to track their insulin consumption. Benefits of insulin pens for diabetes: There are three advantages to using insulin pens: ease of use, accuracy and portability.
