The role of proper insulin injection technique training FOR achieving of good glycaemic control
Inappropriate injection technique leads to incorrect insulin dosing, increased pain and impaired glucose control in patients with diabetes. This review examines in detail the results of two clinical studies, the Glycemic Impact of Insulin Injection Technique (GIIIT) and the UK Lipo Study (UKLS) that...

Inappropriate injection technique leads to incorrect insulin dosing, increased pain and impaired glucose control in patients with diabetes. This review examines in detail the results of two clinical studies, the Glycemic Impact of Insulin Injection Technique (GIIIT) and the UK Lipo Study (UKLS) that examined the effect of teaching patients proper injection techniques to achieve good glycemic control.
The GIIIT study included patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes (18–70 years) who were on a regimen of multiple daily insulin injections. They were categorised into three groups: those that received structured injection technique training using 4-mm injection needles (TN), those that received injection technique training (T) and control (C). The UKLS study included 75 patients who received structured training to reduce the risk of developing lipohypertrophy.
Initially, deviations from proper insulin injection technique were observed in a majority of patients in both the studies. In the GIIIT study, 6 months after training under TN and T conditions, HbA1c decreased by 1%, with no observable changes under the C condition. The daily insulin dose was increased by 6 IU in all conditions. Overall, the use of 4-mm short needles reduced post-injective pain in all patients.

These results indicate that proper injection technique training improves glycemic control in patients with diabetes. |
