NCT03243903

Brief Summary

In this study, QS-M needle-free injector and needle-insulin pen were used as a drug carrier to control blood glucose in type 2 diabetic patients(T2DM).The efficacy and safety of QS-M needle-free injector and needle-insulin pen were evaluated and compared.This is a needle-insulin pen as control group, using a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open, parallel grouping study.
