How do you or your child receive insulin most of the time?
Poll dates: February 20 - 27, 2000
Total Votes: 1,126While scientists are working on inhaled and oral forms of insulin, as of today it must be taken by some sort of injection. Most people report using only syringes (52%), with insulin pumps being used by the next largest number (19%). Pens are quite popular outside the United States, but aren't used very much in the US in spite of the convenience they offer for single types of insulin. A pen with Humalog is especially convenient for kids to keep at school, to use in case of high blood sugar during the day.
