Re: Sensiject® Feedback Syringe

I would like to express my professional pleasure that finally there is a device capable of addressing the needs of patients with Diabetes Mellitus.

Precision is vital in insulin administration. Insulin is delivered in 0.01 ml increments, 0.01 ml contains 1 unit insulin. A 1 unit mistake can cause severe immediate complications. To make it more difficult, different types of insulin often have to be accurately mixed in one syringe. An average patient experiences 25% variations in response to the same amounts injected, partially due to insulin miss dosing. Natural complications of long-standing diabetes are decreased vision and impaired coordination and sensory loss in upper extremities. Frequently it forces physicians to sacrifice quality of care and prescribe premixed insulin compounds with fixed rations for safety issues.

The Sensiject® Syringe manufactures by Algen & Klemer, LLC addresses all the issues mentioned above.

I have no doubt in my mind that Sensiject® Syringes would offer major advantages to millions of people with Diabetes Mellitus and make their lives easier and safer.

Sincerely yours,
