Abstract Background Guidelines recommend the initiation of insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who failed on maximum dose of oral medications. However, time to initiation is inconsistent due to different barriers resulting in delay and thus leads to failure to achieve glycemic control which in turn may lead to different complications. The aim of this study was to explore factors influencing the delayed initiation of insulin among patients with type 2 diabetes being managed at the Diabetes Clinic of Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital. Methods A qualitative descriptive study design was employed. Data was collected using in-depth interviews with 27 participants, including patients and healthcare providers. Audio-recorded data was transcribed and then thematically analyzed. Results Different factors influencing the delayed initiation of insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were revealed. Patient factors included beliefs about the necessity of insulin and concerns related to starting insulin. Physician factors included perceived patient’s situation and lack of clinical competency. Health institution factors included inadequate laboratory set up and absence of contextual guidelines for diabetes management including insulin initiation. Conclusions The study findings indicated different influencing factors some of which were similar to those reported from other settings while there were others which somehow were unique to study setting. These are indicative of the need to implement interventions such as strengthening the patients’ diabetes health education program that is considerate of the religious, cultural, and social aspects of the society.
