Abstract
The invention provides an improved device for the injection of medicament such as insulin subcutaneously. The device provides discrete regular injections from an end of a tube containing medicament. The discrete amounts of the injections are programmed to provide a basal injection rate and additional discrete injections can be provided at the user's discretion so that the user has sufficient flexibility to control sudden demands for medicament while nevertheless leaving the basal injection schedule essentially uninteruppted.
