Pen therapy

Insulin pen therapy

In the case of MDI therapy the insulin is injected with an insulin pen at least four times each day. The pen needles are extremely narrow, which means that insertion is barely noticeable.
Insulin pen therapy

Correct needle length

There are six different lengths of pen needles. But which one is right for you? We will show you how to determine the right needle length for you.

Injection sites

Nearly every diabetic has them: Preferred injection sites where you barely notice the needle going in. But these preferred sites involve many problems.
Injection sites

Injection techniques

At a 90° or 45° angle? With or without a skin fold? There are various injection techniques for injecting insulin into the subcutaneous fatty tissue.
Injection techniques

Single use pen needles

Modern pen needles are disposable products of the highest quality. They are extremely thin and sharp and are coated with a lubricating film. This results in a gentle and comfortable injection - but only once!

Tissue hardening (lipohypertrophy)

It is particularly important to note that the effect of injections into lipohypertrophies is uncertain in diabetes therapy. In these areas the absorption of insulin is impaired, making the effect of the insulin difficult to estimate.
