Frequently asked questions
Who can use the i-Port Advance™?
Those newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes who might be afraid of injections. Anyone who experiences the emotional challenges of injections like fear, anxiety and stress or their physical impact like bruising, scaring or pain may benefit from i-Port Advance™. It’s especially beneficial to children and their loved ones, who often get anxiety when it’s time to take an injection. It can also help in administering additional doses (for example correction boluses and injections to cover snacks between meals). Children or teenagers may also benefit from i-Port Advance™ as an aid to help them become more independent when administering insulin therapy. If you have type 2 diabetes and are new to taking insulin, this is a great way to improve the transition to taking injections.
Does it matter if I use a pen or a syringe?
You can use the port with pens or syringes. Needles need to be 5-8mm (3/16-5/16”) in length and 32-28 gauge.
How does it work with both long acting as rapid acting insulin?
You can use both, but there is a rule: Always inject rapid acting insulin first, wait one hour, then inject your long acting insulin.
