A substantial minority of respondents
(22%) said they planned their daily activities around their insulin injections, and
similar proportions reported that insulin
injections interfered with their lives: 23%
said insulin injections interfered with
their eating/exercising schedule more
than a little, and 25% said that insulin
injections had a negative effect on one or
more activity of daily living. Further, a
substantial minority of respondents
(22%) reported they had to mentally prepare themselves before each injection,
and 33% identified they had some level of
dread associated with taking their daily
injections.
Attitudinal measures tended to fall
below the halfway point of the response
options (i.e., 2.5). Respondents reported moderate levels of satisfaction
with the pain and the inflammation and
bruising associated with insulin injections (the scores for pain and inflammation/bruising were significantly higher
than those for embarrassment, time
needed, and ease of use, P 0.001). A
quarter (24%) of respondents had a score
representing negative affect toward injections (they scored above the midpoint on
the scale), and 21% reported “often” worrying about hypoglycemia.
