Cover Story: A correct injection technique is essential in ensuring the effectiveness of insulin and for achieving good metabolic control. Today, technological evolution has transformed insulin needles into innovative tools that are able to guarantee effective and safe administration of insulin, reduce local complications (such as lipodystrophies) that might obstruct the effectiveness of the treatment itself, and minimize the pain of the injection, a crucial factor in the acceptance of therapy and compliance. This document provides operational recommendations that integrate the standards of care for diabetes resulting from the latest scientific acquisitions, with the patient’s interests acting as a central focal point.
