Types of Insulin Delivery Devices

All insulin delivery devices inject insulin through the skin and into the fatty tissue below.
Most people inject the insulin with a syringe that delivers insulin just under the skin. Others use insulin pens, jet injectors, or insulin pumps. Several new approaches for taking insulin are under development.

Insulin Delivery Devices Under Development

Researchers are now developing several new methods for delivering insulin. These include the insulin patch and inhaled insulin. The insulin patch, when placed on the skin, will give a continuous, low dose of insulin. To adjust insulin doses before meals, users will pull off the tab on the patch to release insulin. Inhaled insulin delivery systems will give insulin as a dry power, inhaled through the mouth directly into the lungs where it passes into the bloodstream. This aerosol delivery system will likely be about the size of a flashlight and use rapid-acting insulin.
