There are many types of insulinis. Most of them are available in pen. If you are type 1, you would benefit from buying a permanent insulin pen. You would only have to change the cartridges when the insulin gets over inside. Most companies have helplines in place to assist taking of the injections.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
The doctor treating him should be able to arrange the Insulin pen for that particular insulin. Usually the company executive supplying the instrument will come and teach the patient how to use the device. So please contact the concerned doctor. Or through the chemist supplying the medicine, you can get in touch with the company person. Thanks.

Hello lybrate-user, in type 1 diabetes, insulin is the only line of management. Some newer drug are approved by FDA but they are add-on to your insulin and efficacy wise these drugs are not effective as single therapy but insulin can't be substituted.
