Abstract
In conclusion, it is essential that neighboring organizations respond quickly with sufficient medical support for diabetic patients with insulin therapy following an earthquake. In particular, treatment with rapid- and long-acting insulin injections via disposable pens with prefilled insulin cartridges or CSII therapy is useful during a disaster. To take the medical support, patients should always have a note or copy of their medical records, including medical history and medications used.
