Executive Summary
Managing diabetes requires a great deal of individual responsibility. A patient must be able to provide a blood sample for determining glucose levels and be able to withdraw and inject the correct dosage of insulin. These tasks are a burden for all diabetics, but when the patient only has one functioning arm, this process becomes even more complex. The members of Diabetes Management Design (DMD) have designed a simple and portable device that will assist disabled patients in better managing their diabetes. This device provides diabetic patients with one functioning arm a way to easily remove lancet caps, position their finger at the desired test site, and withdraw accurate dosages of insulin with no air bubbles.
