Abstract
The acceptability of a jet injector compared with disposable syringes for insulin injections was assessed in 10 people with Type 1 diabetes. The majority considered disposable syringes easier to use and either less painful or no more painful than jet injections. Given the choice only 1 of the 8 people completing the study would continue using the jet injector.Keywords
