| | Postgraduate Medicine: Insulin delivery using pen devices |
 | | Because the pen needle does not puncture the stopper of an insulin vial before injection, the needle maintains its sharpness and beveled angle, thereby potentially reducing the pain of injection, compared with the traditional vial-and-syringe technique. | | | Manufacturers offer pen needles that are one third shorter (12.7 mm) than standard-length needles and are a larger gauge (thus a smaller bore diameter) for greater patient comfort. | | | The disposable needles that are attached to insulin pens have some advantages over standard syringe needles. |

| | These pens (which require detachable pen needles such as the Becton Dickinson Insulin Pen Needles, sold separately) adjust in single-unit increments, with an audible click for each unit. | | | But if a diabetic cannot rely on vision to accurately measure insulin, then, to maintain independence, he or she MUST have effective alternative techniques specifically designed for individuals with partial or complete vision loss. | | | Insulin vials can be changed for mixing without disturbing the syringe. |
