Objectives: To assess the knowledge, attitude and practices of subjects with diabetes on insulin therapy. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire based cross-sectional study was done at Karnataka Institute of Endocrinology and Research, Bangalore in 448 subjects with diabetes on insulin therapy. Results: 61.38% subjects were men and 44.9% subjects were in the age group of > 60 years. Premixed insulin was the most commonly used insulin regimen (81.47%).
