State of the art practice |
All clinicians need to keep updated with state of the art clinical practice. The optimal practices in insulin delivery and safety from across the globe have been incorporated in the new FITTER recommendations which, offer all clinicians easy access to state of the art practice. |
Evidence based practice |
Clinical practice informed by sound evidence base is critical for ensuring optimal outcomes for patients. FITTER recommendations are based on contemporaneous evidence. Each recommendation is graded by the strength of evidence, enabling clinicians to determine the strength of the recommendation at a glance. The panel used the following scale for the strength of each recommendation:
For grading the degree of scientific support for each recommendation, we used this scale:

Lower clinical burden |
A range of clinical case studies, health economic outcome research and clinicial trials have shown that optimal injection technique delivered to patients in a multi model fashion with both generalized and individualized (tailored) approach can improve both day to day and long term blood glucose control.1 Improvements in clinical outcome can be shown to reduce not only the burden of the disease on the individual but also on providers and wider society.1 |
