The Benefits of the Finesse Insulin Patch Pen

The patch is attached to the skin and can be worn under clothes. It has two buttons that when squeezed together deliver the correct amount of insulin. Each bolus contains 200 units of insulin when the buttons are squeezed together the insulin passes though a tube that is inserted into the skin and though the patch.
