What is the difference between refillable and disposable insulin pens?
Refillable pens (Like the Novopen Junior ) are much like fountain pens; insulin cartridges are inserted and changed when empty. Disposable pens (like the Levemir FlexPen ) are cheaper but also less accurate — the plunger mechanism on the disposable pens is a bit flimsy, and can give inaccurate doses by half a unit or so.
What type of insulin pen should I use?
The insulin pen you use depends on the type of insulin you require, the number of units you typically need per insulin shot, and the available pens for that insulin type. The needles on insulin pens come in different lengths and thicknesses, and most fit on all of the available insulin pens.
