HumaPen Memoir, a digital insulin pen from Eli Lilly and Company, is a reusable pen that can deliver from 1-to-30 units of Humalog in half-unit increments. This pen may be best to people with diabetes that do not need large amounts of insulin, or parents of some children with diabetes.
"Insulin pens were developed on the premise that delivery devices that are more acceptable to patients could improve patient compliance and make a positive contribution to long-term diabetes control. (1) Unlike traditional insulin pens or vial and syringe, MEMOIR doesn't resemble a medical instrument. MEMOIR, which is reusable, is sleek and designed to resemble a writing pen, enabling the potential for more discreet injections in public compared to using a vial and syringe."
