A lot of patients with diabetes feel embarrassed when using insulin injection in a public gathering.3 Fear of injection, self-injecting, hypoglycemia, travel restrictions, impact on meal flexibility and impact on the job are some of the other reasons why patients avoid insulin therapy despite having high self-motivation and community support.
