Insulin pen is like having an old-fashioned cartridge pen in your pocket, instead of a writing point, a needle, and for ink cartridge, an insulin cartridge. You just turn a dial to measure out your dose.

Did you know that when there is a variation in the temperature of the insulin pen, the insulin partially or completely loses its function? This can also lead to risks. I bought this thermal case for my pen and it was the best investment I ever made.
