lüll Practical aspects of insulin pen devices Pearson TLJ Diabetes Sci Technol 2010[May]; 4 (3): 522-31Insulin pen devices have several advantages over the traditional vial-and-syringe method of insulin delivery, including improved patient satisfaction and adherence, greater ease of use, superior accuracy for delivering small doses of insulin, greater social acceptability, and less reported injection pain. In recent years, pens have become increasingly user-friendly, and some models are highly intuitive to use, requiring little or no instruction. Despite this progress, uptake of these devices in the United States has not matched that in many other areas of the world. There is a need for improved awareness of the current characteristics of insulin pen devices among United States health care professionals. Knowledge of the design improvements that have been incorporated into pens, both to address patient needs and as a result of the improved technology behind the device mechanics, is essential to promoting the use of insulin pen devices. This review highlights some of the practical aspects of pen use and discusses the factors to be considered when selecting among different insulin pens.|Diabetes Mellitus/*drug therapy[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hypoglycemic Agents/*administration & dosage[MESH]|Injections, Subcutaneous/*instrumentation/methods[MESH]|Insulin/*administration & dosage[MESH]|Self Administration/*instrumentation/methods[MESH] |
