The current study is designed to address questions about intentional insulin
omission, including the frequency of this
behavior and factors hypothesized to be
associated with this behavior, in a large
sample of patients weighted to be representative of all adult diabetic patients in
the U.S. who take insulin. In a previous
report, we found that most insulintreated patients wanted to reduce the
number of insulin injections they take
each day, and some reported that injection-related problems affect the number
of injections they are willing to take (18).
Here we formally assess the impact of a
broad range of factors that might be expected to influence intentional insulin
omission, including demographic and disease factors, as well as perceived burden of insulin therapy (i.e., interference
with activities of daily living), the injection experience (e.g., pain and embarrassment), and negative emotions (e.g.,
dread) associated with insulin injections.
