Responsibility for
Guideline Development
The Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO), with funding from the
Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC), has embarked on a multi-year project of
nursing best practice guideline development, pilot implementation, evaluation, and
dissemination. In this fourth cycle of the project, one of the areas of emphasis is on the
subcutaneous administration of insulin in adults with type 2 diabetes. This guideline was
developed by a panel of nurses convened by the RNAO, conducting its work independent of
any bias or influence from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.
