CeQur Simplicity™: The 3-day insulin patch
CeQur has recently released an FDA approved device for patients with diabetes using insulin, called Simplicity™. It is a three-day wearable insulin patch, injecting insulin at mealtimes. This device can hold up to 200 units of rapid-acting insulin administered in two-unit increments. People can still shower, swim, sleep, exercise, etc. It is also discrete and can be worn underneath clothing.
The biggest advantage: Injection-free dosing.
What does this mean? This means that Simplicity™ will sit on the abdomen and be available for mealtime insulin dosing. To administer insulin from the device, it requires a squeeze on the sides of the device – based on dosing prescribed by your endocrinologist. By wearing Simplicity™ for rapid-acting insulin to cover insulin requirements for meals, you might need only one long-acting insulin injection each day. This would mean less of a hassle of carrying around an insulin pen and pen needles.
People often end up skipping their meal-time insulin. They may not want to inject themselves in public, forget it at home, or just dislike using needles. Simplicity™ offers flexibility to conveniently dose your mealtime insulin. By using doses prescribed, you can prevent high blood sugar readings after meals.
If you are interested in Simplicity™, and learning whether this device might work for you, please talk to your doctor about it. You can also visit their website to help gather more information.
