Popis: ABSTRACT Needle phobia is a specific phobia classified as an anxiety disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders‐5, and can be a serious problem for patients requiring insulin injections. However, there have been few reports to date on the management of adults with diabetes and needle phobia. We here report a case of a woman with pancreatic diabetes who developed needle phobia and could no longer perform self‐injections. She started to use a sensor‐augmented pump (SAP), and was able to perform a puncture for the insulin pump and the continuous glucose monitoring sensor by herself. The SAP treatment achieved self‐management, better glycemic control, and high treatment satisfaction quantified using the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire in this patient. Our case suggests the therapeutic potential of SAP in adults with needle phobia and diabetes requiring insulin therapy.
