I tend to use between 1 insulin unit and 15 for meals. I don't want to take 15 little pills for that meal with more carbohydrates. What if I need 8 units of insulin for a meal? Do I need to take a 5 unit pill and three 1 unit pills? Too much work, no thanks, let me just take the little shot in all of 3 seconds in my tummy. I live in Indonesia where the weather can exceed the safe storage temperature for insulin; it is a pain in the ass keeping my extra insulin cold when there's a power storage (unopened insulin needs to stay in the fridge until it's ready to use). So pills would be better than vials for this reason. In terms of every day convenience though, shots really aren't that bad after you've had enough. By a rough estimate, I've given myself over 25,000 shots in my life. That is a lot of used syringes and medical waste, but my point is, shots aren't that big of a deal for most diabetics. Insulin pens[1] are very convenient. They fit in your pocket, and you just dial the dose, poke yourself, push the button, done. Aside from having to keep them cool, I have no motivation at all to switch to a less convenient system. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTXzTDUf6rc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTXzTDUf6rc
