Type 1 Diabetes

Managing Type 1 diabetes requires constant attention. Between work, school, exercise, meals, travel, family life and everyday distractions, it is easy to experience a moment of uncertainty and ask yourself:

“Did I already take my insulin?”

For many people with Type 1 diabetes, that brief moment of doubt can create unnecessary stress and frustration.

Managing Child Diabetes

When a child is diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, parents often find themselves taking on a new role that requires constant attention, planning and responsibility.

Insulin doses, school routines, after-school activities, sleepovers, sports clubs and family outings can all introduce moments where parents wonder whether a dose has been given.

By providing an organised place to store used pen needles after each injection, NeedleBay can help families establish a simple and consistent routine that is easy to follow and easy to check.
