Starting Insulin - a patient guide
A series of 10 handouts for patients starting insulin.
With the growing number of people affected by diabetes and moving from oral medication to insulin, the Nurse Practitioner Healthcare Foundation, in collaboration with the Association of Clinicians for the Underserved, has developed a series of 10 patient handouts for patients starting insulin. These are free for clinicians and patients.
The series is available in low literacy or easy-to-read (6th to 8th grade level) and very low literacy or mostly pictoral (3rd to 5th grade level), in both English and Spanish:
