1 ON PENS AND NEEDLES A PRIMER ON INSULIN PENS AND PROPER INJECTION TECHNIQUES PETE KRECKEL, RPH
2 ON PENS AND NEEDLES - A PRIMER ON INSULIN PENS AND PROPER INJECTION TECHNIQUES ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION Insulin therapy remains a cornerstone of treatment for type 1 diabetes and, in many cases, type 2 diabetes. Very few doubt the efficacy of insulin therapy in the fight to achieve glycemic control and reduce the risks of long term diabetes complication. Nevertheless, insulin therapy remains underutilized in the US with less than 35% of adults with diabetes using insulin. Barriers to use are not limited to but include fear of needles, cost, and improper injection techniques. Levels of patient and provider satisfaction are higher with pen administration than with vial and syringe. Insulin pens have been found to be easier to use, more discreet, less painful and preferred over syringes by most providers and patients. Insulin pens have many safety and convenience features including enhanced dose accuracy and autocover/autoshield pen needles. The pharmacist's role in educating and counseling patients with diabetes on the appropriate use of insulin pens and needles can be critical in patient understanding, treatment satisfaction and quality of life of diabetes sufferers. TARGET AUDIENCE The target audience for this activity is pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in hospital, community, and retail pharmacy settings. LEARNING OBJECTIVES After completing this activity, the pharmacist will be able to: Review the goals of insulin therapy in patients with diabetes. Compare and contrast the currently available insulin pens and needles (to include efficacy, ease of use, length of needles, and safety features). Identify strategies to educate and counsel patients on the appropriate injection techniques for insulin pens.
