Publication date 2002 Keyword(s) diabetes injections Summary Everyone with type 1 diabetes requires insulin from diagnosis and more than 30% of people with type 2 diabetes eventually need insulin because of progressive failure of pancreatic beta cells. People with type 2 diabetes are often reluctant to commence insulin and some will require assistance with their injections. Over the past five years a number of new insulin delivery systems have become available that can make insulin administration easier. A number of factors, including patient preference, influence the choice of device. A thorough assessment of the individual's self-care capacity is important and appropriate education is imperative when starting insulin.
