Abstract
An insulin dispenser having a retractable needle cannula and an easy to transport and store disk-shaped body. First and second plungers are removably received in first and second plunger storage chambers that extend through the body. First and second fluid medications are stored in first and second fluid storage chambers that extend through the body. A fluid accumulator having an accumulator plunger moveable therethrough lies in fluid communication with the first and second fluid storage chambers. The first and second plungers are first removed from the first and second plunger storage chambers to be located in and moved through the first and second fluid storage chambers to cause the first and second fluid medications therein to be expulsed to and combined within the fluid accumulator. The accumulator plunger is then moved through the fluid accumulator to cause the combined first and second fluid medications to be injected to a diabetic via the needle cannula.
