Скачать или смотреть Safe and Effective Insulin Injections: What We Learned at the FITTER Congress in Rome

This AADE16 Session on Demand will explore three main aspects of insulin delivery: (1) proper technique for subcutaneous injections; (2) identification, treatment, and prevention of lipohypertrophy; and (3) recommendations for optimal use of insulin pump catheters and infusion sets. Recommendations for best practices (based on publication reviews) were reviewed at the 2015 Forum for Injection Technique and Therapy: Expert Recommendations (FITTER) Workshop. These will be presented to improve patients' comfort when delivering insulin by injection or infusion set.

At the end of this presentation, the participant will be able to:
List several key strategies for improving insulin injection comfort, safety, and efficacy.
Discuss various methods of assessing patients for lipohypertrophy (LH) and teaching insulin injection site rotation schedules to reduce risk.
Describe steps known to reduce infusion set site problems and to improve comfort.
