Although the insulin pen is a preferred modality of insulin delivery, this sampling of disparity patients demonstrates that insulin pen technique should be continually reassessed by health care providers as majority of the patients never had formal insulin pen teaching. Among those who did have training, they still made errors such as not priming the pen or shortened dwell time.
