Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a needle-free injector in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with basal insulin. Methods: 62 patients with type 2 diabetes were enrolled in a multicenter, randomised, prospective, open-label, crossover study. All patients received subcutaneous insulin glargine administered by a needle-free injector or a glargine pen for 7 similar to 14 days, and were then crossed over after wash out. Results: Patients in the insulin needle-free injector (NFI) and glargine pen (GP) groups achieved similar fasting blood glucose control . However, the dosage of insulin required to achieve the target FBG level in the NFI group was lower than in the GP group (16.14 +/- 5.13 U/day vs 19.25 +/- 6.20 U/day, respectively; p = 0.0046). This difference was more significant in patients who received higher insulin dosages compared with those receiving lower dosages. Use of the needle-free injector was also associated with significantly less pain (p < 0.001) and less fear of injection (p < 0.001) than glargine pens. Conclusion: The use of a needle-free injector can significantly lower the dosage of insulin required to achieve good glycemic control and reduce topical adverse reactions and the fear of injections as well, which help to improve patient compliance.
