WISE (Workshop on Injection Safety in Endocrinology) has published new global recommendations on ensuring the safety of injections in diabetes.
The new recommendations are designed to ensure the safety of patients, professionals and all persons in potential contact with sharps used in the treatment of diabetes.
They were informed by the results of a four-month survey of sharps injuries among 634 nurses from 13 western European countries and Russia, and the outcome of the October 2011 WISE, which brought together a diverse group of 58 leaders in the field of diabetes safety from 13 countries.
