The prefilled, disposable, insulin pen, Novolet is suitable for disabled diabetics, who cannot use the usual injection syringes or insulin pens without help. Of 16 disabled patients in our care, 10 learned to dial the correct number of units of premixed rapid and intermediate insulins, and to inject themselves with this device. Economic aspects aside, we stress the self-esteem and independence regained by these patients.
