Health-care professionals in India frequently manage injection or infusion therapies in persons with diabetes (PWD). Patients taking insulin should know the importance of proper needle size, correct injection process, complication avoidance, and all other aspects of injection technique from the first visit onward. To assist health-care practitioners in their clinical practice, Forum for Injection Technique and Therapy Expert Recommendations, India, has updated the practical advice and made it more comprehensive evidence-based best practice information. Adherence to these updated recommendations, learning, and translating them into clinical practice should lead to effective therapies, improved outcomes, and lower costs for PWD.

“…Identification of patient, provider, and healthcare system based barriers of initiating and adhering to insulin injection therapy is a critical step toward successful diabetes self-management [5,[12][13][14][15][16]. Optimal delivery and effect of all injectable agents rely on correct injection technique [17], emphasizing the role of enhanced awareness of the good injection practices among healthcare professionals (HCPs) as well as patients [5,9,18]. Several guidelines on insulin self-administration are available across the world as well as in India, whereas as consistently reported by several studies across the globe, there is a significant gap between the recommendations of the guidelines and actual insulin injection practice [5,8,10,[19][20][21].…”

This consensus statement aimed to provide a simple and easily implementable practical educational guideline for healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients regarding insulin injection practice in diabetes selfmanagement in the Indian setting. A group of experts analysed published data from guidelines, clinical trials and real world evidence to reach consensus recommendations on optimal insulin injection practices in terms of a) the injection sites (preparation of site of injection, choosing the injection site, site rotation), b) choice of device and storage of insulins, and c) safety precautions, sharp disposal practice and complications. Findings from Global and Indian arm of 2014-2015 ITQ Study were considered to emphasize a need for improved practice by HCPs covering all the vital topics essential to proper injection habits. The consensus statement provides a simple and easily implementable practical educational guideline for HCPs and patients to optimize insulin injection practices in accordance with recent advances in device manufacturing, newer research findings, and updated international guidelines as well as widespread concerns about neglected safety precautions such as single-patient use of pens and appropriate sharp disposal practices.

Article InfoDiabetes mellitus (DM) is one of more inveterate disease with wasteful complication, and the middle east is likely to onus one of the greatest problems of diabetes worldwide in the coming year. To measure the effectiveness of an educational program on adolescents knowledge about insulin shot technique. A research control trial was carried out at AL-fahiaa specialist to center in AL-fahiaa general hospital from 1 st November, 2015 until 21 th July, 2016. Non-probability sampling technique (purposive sample) base to criteria (diabetes mellitus type 1, used insulin injection and ability to read and write).The educational program was designed to improve patient knowledge toward insulin shot technique. This program was implemented through four steps: pre -program, program intervention, post test program and follow up. The educational activities employed several teaching and learning strategies. A questionnaire was designed as a tool for data collection for the purpose of the study. It was composed of three major parts, the first one concerning demographic data, medical history and third was divided into general information about DM (15) item and insulin shot technique administration questions (14) item. Data were collected and analyzed through the application of the descriptive statistical means (Frequency and percentage) and inferential statistical data analysis approach (one -way analysis of variance ANOVA test). Patients who had participated in the study had benefited from the implementation of educational insulin shot technique program and change had occurred to their knowledge about insulin administration technique (a mean scores of pre-test were improved in post-test Ι and post-test ΙΙ). Insulin shot technique education program had had a positive effect on adolescents knowledge related to insulin shot technique. The program should include diabetes mellitus in school curriculum.
