New benefits for people with diabetes
New benefits for people with diabetes
From 1 March 2000, GPs will be able to prescribe insulin pen needles and re-usable insulin pens to the 400,000 people in the UK who inject insulin. Injection pens are easier and more convenient to use than syringes and the needles which fit them are smaller and more comfortable. They can be used one-handed and contain two or three days' supply of insulin and the dose is simply selected on a dial. Unfortunately this announcement applies only to England.
