Abstract
The prevalence of diabetes (DM) in the elderly currently accounts for about half of all people with diabetes. DM treatment often requires a variety of medications including insulin therapy; however, because of discomfort such as dementia, loss of vision, emotional dysfunction, discomfort, and manual labor, elderly patients may increase the risk of hypoglycaemia and other measurement errors related to insulin administration.

In recent years, pens have become easier to use.
