Purpose
During the last years, even more little needles are used for the injection of sub cutaneous insulin, for the diabetes therapy.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the non inferiority of a new needle, smaller than another needle, in terms of hematic levels od fructosamine, an indicator of glycemic control.
