Poor adherence to insulin regimens is reported in up to two-third of patients with diabetes;
thus it is important to identify patients at risk and to develop strategies and tools to
increase adherence to prescribed insulin regimens. This study will evaluate the efficacy of
Insulclock® - small electronic device to help track date, time and dosage of the last
injection, type of insulin used and temperature, with an alarm system to prevent insulin
omissions and mistiming.

Diabetes is arguably the most urgent healthcare challenge of the 21st century. Poor adherence
to insulin regimens is reported in up to two-third of patients with diabetes; thus it is
important to identify patients at risk and to develop strategies and tools to increase
adherence to prescribed insulin regimens. This study will evaluate the efficacy of
Insulclock® - small electronic device to help track date, time and dosage of the last
injection, type of insulin used and temperature, with an alarm system to prevent insulin
omissions and mistiming. The Insulclock's real time memory and alert system are likely to
improve treatment adherence, patient's satisfaction, and quality of life measures, which may
improve glycemic control in insulin treated patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
