How many things do you forget every day?\u00a0 Where did I put my keys?\u00a0 Did I lock the door?\u00a0 Did I turn off the lights before I left the house?\u00a0 And..<\/em>. <\/em>ever wonder whether or not you took your insulin injection?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, thanks to Timesulin<\/a>, one of your worries can disappear.<\/p>\n

Timesulin is a replacement cap for insulin pens which tells you when you last used the pen.\u00a0 Once your cap is in place, a timer begins counting. Look at your pen cap minutes later, or hours later, and you’ll see exactly when you took your injection.\u00a0 Timesulin works with all major insulin pens and is ready to use straight out of the package with no need for programming.<\/p>\n

I met the creators of Timesulin\u00a0at IDF World Congress in Dubai last December, where they gave me a sample to try.\u00a0 Since then, it’s left the production floor and is available in Europe.\u00a0 (Yes, I know, everything seems to happen in Europe before the U.S. But Timesulin is now speaking to distributors and the cap should be available here this summer.)<\/p>\n

When you use Timesulin, your standard insulin pen cap becomes \u201csmart”. \u00a0 If the cap is removed from the pen for longer than eight seconds, it assumes the user has taken an injection and the LCD screen-timer is reset. It will continue to display in hours and minutes the time that passes until the next time the cap is removed. The timer will not reset if the cap is removed for less than eight seconds, taking into account that sometimes users will need to check the level of insulin left in the pen.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve had a great experience using Timesulin.\u00a0 Not only did I like the confirmation that I had taken my shot, but it kept me more regular in dosing my Lantus, which I take every 24 hours.\u00a0 Often, I take my Lantus without thinking about it.\u00a0 Did I take it at 8:00 a.m. yesterday or 9:00 a.m.?\u00a0 With Timesulin, I know.<\/p>\n

The idea for Timesulin came from the experiences of co-founder and CEO, John Sj\u00f6lund, who has been living with type 1 diabetes since age three.\u00a0 In an interview<\/a> with Diabetes Mine’s Allison Blass, John explained, “For the longest time, I was asking my doctors when a solution to forgotten injections would be coming along, and I never got a conclusive answer. After years of having this problem and often speaking with my family about it, it was actually my brother Andreas who had the \u2018Eureka!\u2019 moment for how to solve this back in June 2008. If you figure that the average person with diabetes takes four injections per day, that equates to nearly 1,500 shots per year. \u00a0Of course we are going to forget every once in a while, right? It happens to the best of us; young, smart, active people just like me.”<\/p>\n

John told me – and I couldn’t agree more – “Given the hectic lives we all lead, keeping track of the four-times-a-day ritual can be difficult for anyone living with a chronic condition. It\u2019s like trying to remember if you turned the stove off.”<\/p>\n

No more missing injections or double dosing (a serious potentially life threatening problem).\u00a0 No more the anxiety about whether you’ve taken their shot or not.\u00a0 No more guessing.<\/p>\n

If you live in Europe, you can buy Timesulin online<\/a>.<\/p>\n
