โฆ Synopsis
Needle phobia in patients with Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus is difficult to manage. We report a case of long-standing needle phobia in a patient with 33 years of Type 1 diabetes mellitus who has developed very few vascular complications. Further studies are required to identify the prevalence of needle phobia in Type 1 diabetes mellitus. Once these individuals have been identified, appropriate psychological and physical treatments should be implemented, in the hope of making such individuals less fearful of the treatment of their condition.
