Needle-free insulin

Harry Brown

The Medical Centre, 846 York Road, Seacroft, Leeds, LS14 6DX, UK, drharry{at}drharry.co.u

Needle-based delivery systems suit the vast majority of people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes who require insulin. However, a small group may be better suited to a needle-free delivery system. In the UK, GPs can now prescribe, on the NHS, such a needle-free delivery system — sometimes called a jet injector. These devices are not necessarily pain free but they have a well-established history and offer patients and their healthcare professionals a credible alternative to a needle-based insulin injection.

Key Words: needle-free • insulin delivery • jet injectors • needle phobic.
