Insulin is only available as a liquid preparation. There are several means by which it can be supplied for use subcutaneously (in the skin):

  • It can be drawn out of an insulin vial ONLY using an insulin syringe.

  • It can be provided as a prefilled pen device, which is disposed of once empty.
