However, many people with diabetes undergoing insulin therapy experience suboptimal outcomes and/or have complications because of inadequate injection technique and training. Practical, current, evidence-based recommendations are mandatory for primary care practitioners and diabetes specialists alike to address unmet needs in insulin injection technique, education, and consequent outcomes. The most recent global insulin injection technique best practices were published in 2016 by the Forum for Injection Technique and Therapy Expert Recommendations (FITTER). While injection technique efforts in different regions have reflected some developments since 2016, a global effort was warranted to comprehensively capture new evidence and modern expert perspectives. In this article, we share the output of the “FITTER Forward” initiative, authored by 16 diabetes specialists from 13 countries who met virtually in 2023-2024. FITTER Forward provides an updated rationale for the importance of proper injection technique training and its impact on diabetes management. The FITTER Forward recommendations are organized for use in clinical practice and include 4 sections describing (1) the foundational science informing injection device design, experiences, and outcomes, (2) proper injection technique procedures for insulin pens and syringes from insulin storage to needle disposal, (3) lipodystrophy risk reduction, with a focus on lipohypertrophy, and (4) structured injection technique training programs for people with diabetes. Overall, FITTER Forward aims to better equip health care professionals to advance diabetes care by empowering people with diabetes and their caregivers to correctly and safely deliver insulin.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18334,"journal":{"name":"Mayo Clinic proceedings","volume":"100 4","pages":"Pages 682-699"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143739717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
