An insulin pen (or just "pen") is an insulin delivery system that generally looks like a large pen, uses an insulin cartridge rather than a vial, and uses disposable needles.
Insulin pen devices provide a delivery option that may be more acceptable and more convenient to use in comparison with traditional vials and syringes and thus may promote patient compliance, which can enhance the ability to achieve and maintain glycemic control. When choosing a specific insulin pen for an individual patient, the clinician should consider th...

Insulin is a naturally occurring, glucose-lowering hormone used by many people with diabetes to control their blood sugar. In people with type 1 diabetes, supplemental insulin makes up for the insulin that is not produced by the body. People with type 2 diabetes may need to take insulin if they cannot maintain adequate blood sugar control with other medicati...
Insulin pens are either reusable or disposable. For a reusable pen, you put the insulin cartridge into the pen. Disposable pens already have an insulin cartridge.

The pen contains a built-in cartridge of Insulin that controls the blood glucose level for diabetic patients. To the left are two different sizes of needles that are sealed in individual containers; the one with the green label is the shortest at 4 mm of length. The purple labelled container has a 5 mm needle. The pen device is manufactured by Sanofi-Aventus...

Insulin pens have become a popular way for diabetics to give themselves insulin. Insulin pens are available for multiple insulin types. However, as with any technology, pens can be misused leading to medication errors and inaccurate administration of insulin. Although an insulin pen is easy to use, certain precautions must be taken to assure proper use.
Insulin pens allow patients to manage their therapy themselves. During the manufacturing process, full inspection of pen assembly is essential to ensure a high degree of patient safety. Improper storage could result in the breakdown of insulin, affecting its ability to effectively and predictably control your blood sugar level.
