Tips for Handling Insulin Syringes - More than one billion diabetic insulin syringes and lancets are used in the United States each year. And used insulin syringes and other "sharps" can accidentally hurt other people - everyone from you and your family to the person who collects your garbage. So, as you take care of your diabetes, make sure you take care of the safety of everyone around you by safely handling and disposing of used diabetes insulin syringes and lancets.

Stat Medical Devices - The first step in getting an accurate glucose test is getting a good sample to test ("finger sticks," as they are called). It all starts with proper lancing, or puncturing, of the test site to draw out a small sample of blood.

Understanding Diabetes Insulin Pumps - A diabetes insulin pump is a small, pager-sized device that delivers insulin to the body by a thin plastic tube and a soft plastic needle inserted just under the skin, usually on the abdomen, thighs or buttocks. A simple, programmable interface allows you to control exactly how much insulin the pump delivers.
