【Description｜作品介紹】

EASYSULIN is an insulin injection pen specifically designed for diabetic children, which can effectively solve the health problems caused by repetitive injections of insulin at the same site. Turn the morning, noon, and evening icons visible from the users' perspectives before positioning the tape measure over the umbilicus. Then, pull out the tape measure with marks of corresponding days in a week. The triangular design of the pen body allows the injection sites to be separated by 120 degrees three times a day; and the marks on the tape measure ensure a precise 2.5cm distance from the umbilicus to the injection sites, with 1cm intervals every day from Monday to Sunday.
Patients tend to forget their previous injection sites. Therefore, repetitive injections in the same site of the body may cause problems, especially for children, as they cannot do the injection independently. If insulin is injected into the same site all the times, it may form adipose tissue thickening, and adipose hyperplasia or fat depression atrophy, which may lead to body's poor effectiveness of insulin absorption, making blood sugar more difficult to control.
