Abstract
Diabetes causes abnormalities in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism due to insulin's ineffective action on target tissues. Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by the beta-cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans and is responsible for facilitating cellular glucose uptake and regulating carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism. Insulin is injected into the fat layer subcutaneously, or beneath the skin. In this form of injection, a small needle is used to inject insulin into the fatty layer between the skin and the muscle. In comparison to a typical vial or syringe, the insulin pen was proved to be significantly easier to use and less unpleasant. Some characteristics of an insulin pen may make it more suitable for certain patients, and physicians must be aware of these requirements.
Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, Subcutaneous Insulin, Insulin pen, Insulin pump, Syringes, Insulin delivery.
