Abstract
Initiation of insulin therapy raises many patient concerns, hesitations, and fears that healthcare providers need to recognize and resolve when developing each patient's treatment program. The psychological aspects of insulin therapy are hard to characterize because of the great variation between patients. However, with the proper tools and resources, insulin regimens can be developed to accommodate individual differences in personality and lifestyle.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
