Moreover, the needle-free syringe adopts the principle of high pressure jet, which can make the liquid reach the subcutaneous fat layer instantly, and the diffusion absorption mode makes insulin absorption faster, the effect is faster, and the blood glucose control effect is better.

If you are afraid of pain, needles or subcutaneous induration, broken needles, infection and other situations, you can consider choosing needle-free syringes. The insulin pump is generally used when the condition of diabetes is more serious, such as type 1 diabetes whose condition is difficult to control, type 2 diabetes complicated with severe infection, when performing major surgery, and insulin injection therapy for patients with difficulty in controlling blood glucose, etc. So which one to choose, according to their own situation and doctor's advice to determine.
