New research from the University of Cambridge has now made it possible to reduce a person’s daily medication needs down to only two semiannual injections. This twice-per-year drug delivery system would not only be much more convenient for people suffering from conditions like diabetes and HIV/AIDS, but might also increase people’s long-term adherence to their prescribed drug regimens.
Today in the United States, an estimated 18.8 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes, with another seven million suspected cases on top of that. People with type two diabetes (formerly known as non-insulin dependent diabetes) generally need to supplement their insulin levels with daily injections. However, as the severity of the condition worsens, this number may increase to three or four injections per day. Similarly, people with type one diabetes (also called insulin-dependent diabetes or juvenile onset diabetes) often need multiple injections of insulin each day.

Hmm..two injections of insulin a year? I doubt it! 🙄 Seems riddled with poor reporting
