InsulinSaver, an invention based on experience

Insulin is a temperature-sensitive drug which, according to insulin manufacturers, should be stored at a temperature between + 2 ° C and + 30 ° C. Insulin should be stored in the refrigerator when an ampoule / disposable syringe is not in use. Because a diabetic today can largely live a life like everyone else, insulin needs to be involved in many different contexts where many different temperatures can be experienced.  It can be brought, for example, on sunny days on the beach, skiing in the mountains or a walk on a hot day, with the insulin in your purse. Diabetics are also human, you can forget your bag of insulin in the car, put your insulin in a refrigerator that does not work properly or forget your insulin on the dining table when the sun is on. 

• An insulin-treated diabetic does not know the temperatures to which the insulin is exposed
• An insulin-treated diabetic discards insulin if he or she thinks the insulin has been exposed to too high or too low a temperature

• An insulin-treated diabetic is at risk for elevated blood sugar levels which can lead to ketoacidosis
• An insulin-treated diabetic throws usable insulin. We estimate that an average of 1-2 ampoules / disposable syringes with insulin are dispensed per person and year in Sweden. With this figure, we can further estimate that around 60,000 ampoules / disposable syringes are thrown away, in Sweden alone (this in the belief that the insulin is not usable)

• User-friendly and clear
• Easy to carry and store where you already store your insulin
• No extra accessories in addition to the product itself, as you as a diabetic already have many aids to remember
• Low cost to the customer

InsulinSaver is a product developed to help insulin-treated diabetics and increase security and awareness of how insulin is stored. InsulinSaver is also a product developed to reduce the loss of usable insulin.
