This disorder affects glucose sugar metabolism,where sugar is not oxidised due to a lack of the pancreatic hormone insulin. Treatment is based on a strict diet and the use of daily insulin injections to maintain the blood-sugar balance. This is a FlexPen from NovoRapid,a pre-filled insulin pen used by diabetics. It has a dial at one end for metering out the correct dose of insulin. Once all the insulin in the cartridge has been used the device can be thrown away | |
