Comparative Usability Study of the Dulaglutide Single-use Pen versus the Insulin Degludec FlexTouch ® among Self-injection-naïve Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Japan.

CONCLUSIONS: In this study, participants required a shorter training time to achieve correct administration with the dulaglutide SUP, and had a higher preference for the dulaglutide SUP, when compared to FlexTouch®. These data suggest that the dulaglutide SUP is easy-to-use, which may decrease the burden on HCPs to train diabetic patients how to administer injection therapy and reduce patient injection hurdles, such as needle fear.
