You may be surprised how an innovative pen needle design can help improve your injection experience1-2
Insulin injection mistakes are more common than you may think3*
A study showed that people with diabetes were making at least one mistake in how they inject insulin.3* Insulin is meant to be injected into the fat layer just below the skin where it works best. Accidentally injecting insulin too deeply – into the muscle – can lead to pain or the chance of blood sugar dropping too low.4
“One of the things that Iʼm always worried about is how do I know that once I inject it into my body itʼs in the right place or itʼs actually working”†
Patient quote from market research

Accuracy with a shorter needle^
BD Ultra-FineTM Pen Needles help to reduce the risk of injecting into your muscle compared to needles 6mm and longer.5
Comfort with a 5-bevel tip
In a study, the 5-bevel tip was shown to offer a more comfortable and less painful injection experience compared to similar length 3-bevel pen needles.2§
Confidence with
Ultra-Thin wall technology
Ultra-Thin wall technology increases the flow of insulin, making injections easier and giving you the confidence that you have received the full dose.1¶
