This was purchased for my sister to have a backup in her travel bag. It's too bad you don't sell them in sets of two and three or four. This is been a marvelous tool for my sister. She heard about it on a program for entrepreneurs in Milwaukee. Since using this tool the diabetes is becoming more under control as she is able to use it in other places on her body that she could not before. She got such pain from doing her shot in her stomach all the time that she would skip doses because of the pain and now due to consistent shots the diabetes is more under control. This is a great tool and every Dr. Who Scripts insulin should make sure to introduce this tool.
Sorry, I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but when I do I’ll certainly give you a shout out. Saw your product on Pitch It. Great idea!
It’s been such a great relief getting to use other areas that I couldn’t do without this device.
After purchasing Steady Shot, we received a personal letter from the company. This made my daughter who has type 1 feel special and loved. She is returning to school, and now she won’t have to lean against a wall to give herself a shot in her upper arm. Thank you, Steady Shot, for making my daughter feel like she is in control and can do this.
Steady shot makes it so easy to inject insulin in hard to reach places with one hand its just a fantastic product.
We got this to help my dad be able to give himself his shots better and so far so good! He asked us to order another one so he could have a spare! He has a condition(CMT) that causes him decreased use of his hands so this helps him control his injections as he was going too deep.
I’ve been on mdi and flex pens for most my diabetes life . I have a hard time mentality using pumps so I stick with pens . Shots aren’t any easier but the steady shot has changed all of that for me . I have more options for injections , less pain and irritation , doses don’t leak or worry over getting the full dose . It just simply makes injecting for me easy .
I ordered one for my 8 mm size needles however I use 4 mm and 5 mm depending on where I’m injecting so I’m going to order one for each of those two very satisfied repeat customer
I love the freedom the steady shot gives me with my injections. I was always needing help giving shots in alternate spots, but now I can do them myself. It also makes sure I don't go too deep with the needle. Great product, will probably buy another to keep in my go-kit.
Have not received it I am looking forward to receive it
Steady Shot For Pen Needles
I have only used it a couple of times. but I like it I no longer have to pinch my skin while my mom gives me my injection
I've always been a little apprehensive about getting needles regardless of how small they may be. Now with the Steady Shot I don't have any problems at all.
