There are an estimated 194 million diabetics worldwide and at the present rate of growth, this figure will exceed 333 million by 2025 [1]. Since some 17 million of the 194 million suffer from Type 1 diabetes and rely on regular injections of insulin, there is continuous effort by manufacturers of insulin delivery devices and needles to minimise the pain associated with these vital injections. Materials testing methods have an important role in ensuring that needles and needle assemblies meet the needs for safe handling and easy, pain-free injection.
