American Diabetes Statistics
•
•
•
•
•
16+ million cases of diabetes
2,500 new cases daily
7th leading cause of death
193,140 deaths in 1996
$44 billion in direct medical costs
*Statistics from ADA & NIDDK

Societal Issue
• Diabetics do not follow their prescribed
insulin regimen.

Survey Results ( ~1000 People)
•
•
•
•
•
•
2/3 find regimen difficult to manage
41% “unsuccessful” at management
3 in 5 do not monitor as prescribed
17% do not maintain insulin regimen
1 in 5 find regimen restricting
42% do not monitor their glucose levels
*Survey by Eli Lilly company & AGRID

Project Goal
• We believe that given a simplified insulin
protocol, insulin-dependent diabetics will be
more likely to maintain their insulin regimen.
