Latin America Smart Insulin Pen Market: Restraint

The major factor that hinders growth of the Latin America smart insulin pen market is availability of substitute products. For instance, according to the study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering February 2020, the researchers from UCLA, UNC School of Medicine developed a smart insulin-delivery patch, which monitors the glucose levels in people with diabetes and deliver the necessary insulin dosage for 24 hours. The adhesive patch has doses of insulin pre-loaded in tiny micro needles, which are less than 1 mm in length and delivers medicine quickly when the blood sugar levels reach a certain threshold. When blood sugar returns to normal, the patch's insulin delivery also slows down. Such patch delivery helps to prevent overdosing of insulin.
