title: [Insulin injection aid. Experiences with its use in Type II diabetes patients].
abstract: This article reports on the experience gained with an insulin injection aid for use by type II diabetics. The baseline data provided by a questionnaire survey are discussed in detail. The "pen" proved simple to use and was readily accepted. A number of shortcomings were identified and improvements suggested. The significantly superior metabolic control observed in patients using such aids is briefly discussed. In addition, detailed consideration is given to the models presently available and desirable future prospects are identified.
