REPORT DESCRIPTION
Insulin Delivery Devices Market – Overview
Insulin is vital for people suffering from type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. In the past, patients with
diabetes had to inject insulin using large glass syringes and reusable needles, both of which needed
sterilization by boiling after each use. Improvements and innovations has led to development of insulin
delivery devices such as pens and insulin pumps. Furthermore, insulin analogs have become available that
enable both continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion(CSII) using an insulin pump and insulin therapy
using multiple daily injections (MDI) to more closely match physiologic insulin patterns. Type or dosage of
insulin can be changed, to meet the individual needs of the patient. Insulin can be packaged in vials
(bottles), cartridges or prefilled pens. The cartridges are used with pen injectors whereas the vials are used
with syringes.
