[Pen-type insulin dispenser for intensive insulin therapy].
The authors investigate the advantage of the intensified insulin therapy and the use of pen-type devices in the practice of the Diabetic Outpatient Clinic of National Institute of Cardiology. The metabolic control improved markedly during intensified insulin therapy already after a short time as three months without any change in the applied dosage. Furthermore pen-type devices have been recognized to let the patients better accept the daily more than two injections, to improve the life-style, and last but not least to decrease the waste quantity of insulin. Authors want to draw attention to the fact that more than 33% of diabetic patients with intensified insulin therapy have a higher demand for insulin, then it could be injected by the pen devices used at this time and by cartridges available in Hungary at this moment. Therefore, availabilities of both cartridges of 3 ml volume would become necessary without any delay.
