Pen needles
Diabetes is more than just a medical condition, it is a global disease. Today over 537 million people around the world live with diabetes, and this number is expected to rise to 784 million by 2045.¹ The disease occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use it.
This chronic disease often hides in plain sight. In fact, many people with type 2 diabetes can remain undiagnosed for many years, unaware of the long-term damage the disease may be causing. World Health Organization projects diabetes will become the sixth leading cause of death by 2030.¹
Managing diabetes requires comprehensive risk-reduction strategies and evidence-based care.2 For millions of people, that care includes daily insulin injections. That’s where pen needles play a crucial role, offering a reliable and convenient way to deliver life-saving treatment.
Pen needles are commonly used by people with diabetes who often require multiple daily insulin injections. The average patient with type 1 diabetes makes around 1 460 injections per year.3
