Question: Do Syringes and Pens Deliver Insulin Differently?
Answer:
Insulin pens and syringes both deliver insulin by injection. Both methods still require you to rotate where on your body you inject yourself.
But pens could have an edge: They may be slightly less damaging to injection sites because they require less handling of insulin before injecting, reducing the risk of contaminating insulin or needles.
