Abstract:
In Pakistan, more than 30 million adult population are diabetic patients. Diabetes
is a disease in which the human body organ pancreas produces very little or
almost no insulin. This natural hormone is responsible for controlling Glucose
level in the blood. There are several ways to combat this. The person can
improve this situation by doing regular exercises, taking diet that is rich in fatty
acids, continuous consumption of prescribed medications and regularly
monitoring of blood glucose level. If none of these works, the instant solution is
to inject the insulin in the subcutaneous tissues. This is mostly done using insulin
injecting pens and pumps which poses a lot of problems for the patient who
requires insulin one to three times a everyday. This paper targets at the existing
solutions to the insulin injection, problems they pose during their usage, current
trends of medical devices, eventually leading to the final solution in terms of a
product that fills the market gap.
