Most recent: 8.7% Her medical history is significant for dyslipidemia, hypertension, and central obesity (her BMI is 41) She has a strong family history of T2DM; her mother and grandmother are both on dialysis, and a maternal aunt recently died of a CVA What are Jessica s barriers to injectables? How would you overcome these barriers? 2
Barriers to Injectables: Clinicians Misconceptions Need to advance treatment is never-ending (therapeutic fatigue) Patients do not want to use injectables Reality-based concerns Time demands of instructing patients about injections Lack of familiarity with the variety of devices (eg, various pens) Misplaced blame If only patients would exercise and lose weight, they wouldn t need insulin Knowledge gaps Role of glucotoxicity in disease progression and therapeutic failure Typical weight changes (gain): insulin Typical weight changes (loss): GLP-1 receptor agonists Familiarity with ADA/EASD Ng CJ, et al.

Barriers to Injectables: Patient / Partner / Caregiver Pain/fear of injections Disease is bad/much worse Misattribution: bad outcomes in others who used insulin Weight gain Loss of control of daily activities (eg, driving, occupation) Hypoglycemia Medication regimen complexity (multi-pill + injection) Loss of privacy (people observe insulin equipment ) Ng CJ, et al.
