- - China has a significant diabetes issue, with a growing number of patients and inadequate management, leading to many not starting insulin therapy until later in their treatment journey.
- - Concerns like treatment complexity and fear of needles hinder insulin compliance, prompting interest in the newly available needle-free injector as an alternative delivery method for insulin.
- - A clinical trial will compare the effectiveness and patient satisfaction of the needle-free injector against traditional needle-based methods in 420 patients over 16 weeks, focusing on changes in blood glucose levels and overall quality of life.
