摘要

Background: The objective of this study was to characterize how successfully patients with diabetes are able to distinguish between pens of the same pen type containing long- and short-acting insulins. Methods: Structured one-on-one interviews were conducted with 400 patients with diabetes in the United States, using either a differentiated ( n = 100) or undifferentiated ( n = 100) SoloSTAR? (insulin glargine vs insulin glulisine) or ( n = 200) FlexPen? (insulin detemir vs insulin aspart). A pair of each pen type was presented simultaneously, and participants were asked to identify the pen that they would use to (1) inject at lunch, (2) inject once daily, and (3) inject at breakfast and how they differentiated between pens. The short-acting insulin pen was then presented, and the interviewer asked whether this was the correct pen to administer insulin once or thrice daily. Results: More patients successfully identified the correct SoloSTAR pen across the tests vs FlexPen, and the error rate (incorrect selection/inability to select) was Significantly lower, respectively [2.7% ( n = 8) vs 16.3% ( n = 98)]. The most common reason cited for correct responses among all patients was color (of the label/pen, according to pen type). Conclusions: This study suggests that the full pen body color used on SoloSTAR pens enhances the patient's ability to differentiate between the pens for long- and short-acting insulin and is a notable improvement compared with the standard approach of differing label color.

(胰岛素德米尔与门冬胰岛素)。同时展示了每种笔的一对,并要求参与者确定他们将要使用的笔(1)在午餐时注射,(2)每天注射一次,(3)在早餐时注射以及他们如何区分这些笔。然后介绍了一种短效胰岛素笔,面试官问这是否是一次或每天三次注射胰岛素的正确笔。结果:与FlexPen相比,更多的患者成功地通过了测试确定了正确的SoloSTAR笔,错误率(错误选择/无法选择)分别显着降低了[2.7%(n = 8)对16.3%(n = 98)]。 。在所有患者中,导致正确反应的最常见原因是颜色(标签/笔的颜色,根据笔的类型)。结论:这项研究表明,SoloSTAR笔上使用的笔全色增强了患者区分长效和短效胰岛素的笔的能力,并且与不同标签颜色的标准方法相比有显着改善。
