If you've been diabetic for long enough then you have probably had at least a moment or two when you can't remember whether or not you've injected your insulin. Its only happened to me a few times but it's worrying and no one wants to risk double dosing or their blood sugar will fall too low too quickly, nor do they want to risk missing an injection.
John Sjolund, Co-Founder and CEO of Timesulin was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was just three years on. Now, as a very active adult - he's competed in the London Triathlon - John had the same problem, so he created Timesulin which became available last year.
Timesulin is designed to help people avoid some of the highs and lows which can come with diabetes by ensuring that people don't double dose or miss a dose of insulin. The Timesulin cap fits over all major insulin pen brands and has a built in timer to show the last time an injection was given. That certainly beats my write it down and mark it off method!
The product is available directly from the Timsulin webshop and sells for 32 euros. Alternatively, Diabetes UK has recently given the product its backing and it is now available from the Diabetes UK online store.
Commenting in a press release, Shirley Quinn of Diabetes UK said:
“We are very excited to be working with Timesulin.”
“This is a fantastic opportunity for the charity to be at the forefront in selling this innovative product, the aim of which is to reduce the stress of remembering how long it’s been since your last insulin injection.”
