Advanced Sealing Technology Enables the Next Generation of Insulin Delivery Devices

Diabetes is not only one of the most common chronic diseases, it is also complex and difficult to treat. Insulin is often administered between meals to keep blood sugar within target range and at mealtimes based on the number of carbohydrates to be ingested. A variety of insulin types are used to regulate blood sugar levels, including fast acting, short acting, intermediate acting, long acting, and premixed. With more than 400 million adults worldwide suffering from diabetes and 1.5 million deaths directly attributed to the disease each year, it’s no wonder so many scientists, inventors, and pharmaceutical and medical device companies are turning their attention to improving insulin delivery devices.
