Experts from around the globe describe the intersection between patient and healthcare worker safety, focusing on techniques to improve both occupational and public health.
Webinar Objectives:
- Describe the current global impact of bloodborne disease
- Describe occupational exposure incidents for needlesticks and sharps injuries
- Define safety as a function of focus for both patient and health worker, to reduce overall bloodborne disease
- Provide guidance on the importance of prevention programs including use of safer medical devices, immunization/vaccination programs, and safe clinical practices
- Illustrate an effective pathway for reporting exposure incidents and injuries
- Define processes for post-exposure medical treatment and prophylaxis
- Share global experiences from key stakeholders responsible for sharps safety and public health programs around the world

In a study of patients with diabetes who inject insulin, patients educated on proper injection technique (including using a new needle for every injection, rotating injection sites, and shifting to a 4mm or 5mm needle) experienced a 1% reduction in A1C at 6 months.5‡
Take a moment to talk to patients with diabetes about using a new needle for every injection
Patients with diabetes may need a reminder about this important topic. Talk to them about the reasons to use a new needle.
Needles are no longer sterile after use2
Reuse may increase risk of injection pain and bleeding2,3
Reuse has been associated with increased risk of developing lipohypertrophy,4† which can contribute to erratic insulin absorption, increased glycemic variability, and unexplained hypoglycemic episodes.3
Encourage patients with diabetes to use a new needle with each injection by ensuring they have enough needles

Diabetes self-care goes beyond healthy eating and activities
You may know using a new needle for every injection is recommended as part of proper injection technique, but did you know that proper injection technique may help lower A1C?2-5†‡

*
13,289 patients with diabetes who inject insulin participated in an ITQ survey. 38.8% of the 2,711 patients using insulin syringes reported needle reuse and 55.8% of the 11,961 patients using pen needles reported needle reuse.
†
13,289 insulin-injecting patients from 423 centers in 42 countries participated in a survey. Incorrect injection site rotation, years taking insulin, and pen needle reuse were associated with lipohypertrophy (all significant at P<0.05).
‡
116 patients with diabetes on insulin were randomized to 3 intervention groups to assess the change from baseline in A1C at 6 months following structured injection technique training and changing to a shorter needle length (4mm or 5mm pen needle). Baseline A1C for all groups were similar (mean: 8.5-8.8% [± 1.4-1.9%]).

116 patients with diabetes on insulin were randomized to 3 intervention groups to assess the change from baseline in A1C at 6 months following structured injection technique training. Adequate supply is defined as receiving needles sufficient for each injection.
