Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a prospective, intervention, randomized, phase IV study. Patients will be included with 60 years or older, both sexes, with HbA1c \>8.5% using oral antidiabetics agents and insulin and then we will be randomized by use syringe or pens device to use insulin NPH and regular. All patients will receive a blood glucose monitor, lancet tapes, capillary blood glucose tests (3 tests/day). HbA1c will be measured at baseline, 3 and 6 months. Patients will see monthly.
