Cognitive Research Status of Insulin Injection Therapy in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Abstract Objectives Dietary management is considered to be one of the cornerstones of diabetes care. There is a lack of data on the dietary practice of diabetic patients, which underestimates its role in the management of diabetes. Hence, this study assessed the level of dietary practices and their associated factors among Type2 diabetic patients in Hawassa city, Sidama Region, Ethiopia. Results Nearly forty-seven percent (46.8%) of the patients had poor knowledge about diabetes. More than half of the respondents (54.5%) were overweight and obese. The levels of dietary practice among 171 (44.2%) type 2 diabetic patients were poor. Very low monthly income [AOR = 4.87; 95% CI :(1.20-19.81], taking insulin regimen [AOR = 2.36; 95% CI :(1.13–4.91)], taking both insulin injection and oral medication [AOR = 11.26; 95% CI: (3.05–41.54)], not getting DM education in hospital [AOR = 2.72; 95% CI :( 1.08–6.85)], despondency [AOR = 3.71; 95% CI:(1.39–9.89), lack of support from family and friends about dietary plan [AOR = 5.64;95% CI (2.66,11.92)], unavailability of fruits and vegetables[AOR = 3.04;95% CI:(1.11–8.34)] were the factors significantly associated with the poor dietary practice.

Background: Insulin therapy refusal among type 2 diabetic patients is most challenging for healthcare providers. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the type 2 diabetic patients’ attitude and compliance with the initiation of insulin therapy. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 type 2 diabetic patients at the Endocrinology Clinic of Loghman Hakim Hospital, Tehran, Iran. A questionnaire was prepared to assess the attitudes toward the onset of insulin therapy. Positive and negative attitudes toward insulin injection were compared between the two groups of accepting and rejecting insulin therapy. Results: In this study, 62% of patients with type 2 diabetes tended to start insulin therapy. There was a statistical difference between the total positive and negative attitude items toward insulin therapy (agree/disagree) and acceptance of insulin therapy (P < 0.05). The most agreements related to a positive attitude in the two groups of accepting and rejecting insulin therapy belonged to statements “Insulin injection prevents complications of diabetes (micro and macrovascular)” as 100% (P < 0.001) and “Insulin injection helps improve my diabetes” as 96.8% (P < 0.001). The most agreements related to negative attitudes in the two groups of accepting and rejecting insulin therapy belonged to statements “Insulin injection causes my dependence on it” as 72.6% (P = 0.001) and “I can control my diabetes with oral medication and diet without insulin injection” as 97.4% (P < 0.001). Conclusions: As 38% of patients with type 2 diabetes refused to initiate insulin therapy, it seems that effective communication between physicians and patients and continuous follow-ups by health care providers can increase positive attitudes toward insulin injection.
