Bermeo Cabrera et al in their cross sectional study discussed behaviours and barriers in adherence to insulin therapy among type 2 diabetics in Mexico city and found that injecting insulin in public is embarrassing (p value 0.033), side effects of insulin injections i.e. pain and bruising (p value 0.002) and lack of economic resources to afford insulin (p value <0.0001) are potential reasons to omit insulin resulting in poor compliance. Here, INS is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
