Mealtime insulin is rapid-acting insulin that is taken right before meals and snacks. It is sometimes referred to as bolus insulin and is used to lower blood sugar spikes that can occur when people with diabetes eat. It begins to work in about 15 minutes and lasts for approximately three hours.

What gets in the way of your mealtime insulin?

Busy days, meals away from home, and forgotten doses can make multiple daily injections challenging.

Do not take insulin outside the home1

Forgot their insulin2

Reported missing injections they knew they should take3

Missing insulin doses has been shown to raise A1C and increase risk of diabetes complications. CeQur Simplicity™ encourages adherence and has shown to reduce A1C to less than 7% and increase time-in-range by 50%4,5

Mealtime Insulin Delivery Options

Mealtime insulin can be administered through several delivery systems, but only CeQur Simplicity has been shown to address the known barriers to mealtime insulin dosing and adherence.

CeQur Simplicity Patch​
The discreet CeQur Simplicity patch delivers injection-free mealtime insulin and bolus correction without a syringe, pen, or pain.4 Always there, always ready.
Insulin Syringe

Using a syringe requires a vial of insulin, drawing the insulin into the syringe, and other supplies to administer. Syringes are not as discreet as some other insulin delivery methods.

Insulin Pen

An insulin pen is preloaded with insulin and requires needles and other supplies to administer. Pens are a more convenient option than syringes.

Insulin Pump

An external insulin pump delivers variable amounts of insulin to account for what you eat. This requires rigorous training and programming of the pump to start usage.

Inhaled Insulin

Inhale insulin with pre-measured rapid-acting insulin packets that is absorbed in the lungs.

If you answer YES to ONE of these questions, you are a great candidate for the CeQur Simplicity wearable insulin patch.
