Insufficient knowledge and attitude of insulin self administration can result in preventable complication, adverse patient outcome, poor adherence to therapy and invariably poor glycemic control. Objectives. to assess knowledge and attitude on insulin self administration among type 1 DM patients in Mekele hospital 2015. Methodology. Institution based descriptive cross sectional study was conducted. The study subject where type 1 DM patients in Mekele hospital (attending chronic follow up).Data was collected by interview using pre - tested structured questionnaires.

Conclusion and recommendation. the finding of this showed that type 1 diabetic patient had average knowledge and favorable attitude towards self administration of insulin injection. It is suggested that more should be done on areas like medias, health professionals on health education towards insulin self administration for type 1 DM patients.
