It is increasingly recognized that injection technique has a significant effect on the performance of the agent injected, as well as on overall diabetes management.1,2 Hence, we need to understand exactly how patients inject as a prerequisite for guiding them towards best practice.
Over 8 months, from September 2008 to June 2009, 4352 insulin-injecting patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes from 171 centers in 16 countries participated in a large survey of injecting practice. Patients filled out a questionnaire and then their nurse, after evaluating several key injecting parameters, filled out a corresponding questionnaire. The objectives of these questionnaires were to understand the epidemiologic profiles for the major insulin injection parameters; to determine the major causes of variability in injection technique, their ranking and their interactions; and to query the participants’ perception of the injection process, including any psychological barriers they faced.
Demographic information was obtained and then key insulin injection parameters were queried. The parameters evaluated are described below.
