Steady Shot
Makes insulin injections easy for everyone
Steady Shot is an add-on for diabetes insulin pen needles that makes administering insulin easy for everyone. Steady Shot simply connects to your standard pen needle and holds the needle steady during your injection.
Giving multiple injections a day, injection sites get sore and eventually develop a condition called lipohypertrophy (LH). LH causes more pain, more insulin to be injected to have the same target glucose result, and erratic absorption of insulin which can lead to inconsistent glucose targets.
As a type 1 diabetic injector, I strive to make Steady Shot the best it can be based on my experience and the feedback of other injectors - Shawn, CEO & Founder
