Abstract |
Statistics show that the
diabetic population in the United States currently tops over 16 million.
4.9 million of those with diabetes are reliant upon daily insulin
injections for survival.In order to maintain optimum health,
insulin-dependent diabetics must strictly adhere to their prescribed
regimen. However, daily insulin
injections can be quite numerous and its proper administration complex.
The intrusiveness of the insulin regimen causes many diabetics to
falter in taking their medications. The
fact remains that diabetics do not follow their insulin regimen.
Given a simplified insulin administration protocol, diabetics will be
more likely to maintain their regimens.
