Design and simulation of MEMS-based insulin micro-pump with integrated micro-needle array
… for diabetes type 1 and 2 is the administering Insulin. Single needle mechanical insulin pumps are heavy and painful. A generation of micro-needle-based MEMS-based drug delivery devices can be an excellent solution for insulin dosing. The stackable structure provides minimum dimensions and makes …

Fear of needles among children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus : relationship with metabolic control (HbA1c) and quality of life
… Results: Fear of self-injecting (FI) with insulin (or fear of infusion-site changes) was more common with children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (30,3% - 33,3%) than fear of self-testing (FST) blood glucose (6,1% - 21,2%). Positive FI or FST did not significantly affect …

Comparison of quality of life in diabetics using insulin injection therapy versus subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy
… this study was to determine the effectiveness of insulin delivered via multiple injections or by infusion via a pump on the quality of life in adult insulin-dependent diabetics. Four parameters, namely hemoglobin A1C (3 month average blood sugar levels), self-reported healthy eating habits …

Towards Defence In Depth In Diabetes Glucose Self-Management
… capacity to regulate the blood glucose level. In insulin-dependent diabetes, multiple daily injections of insulin have to be administered. In-between scheduled visits to the care provider, the patient has to manage the glucose control independently. Insulin dosing is a non-trivial task and many …
