NEEDLEss to say, Practice Makes Perfect: Mastering Insulin Injection Techniques

Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD) and not for profit community organisation Diabetes Singapore will be hosting the second part of a series of dialogues aimed at patients on insulin therapy and their support networks in Singapore to educate and support these patients as they progress on their long-term journey with the treatment.

The BD x DS Dialogue Series connects experts and patients together via informative sessions that provide needed answers to the challenges patients face in their journey of insulin therapy. How do you make sure you’re injecting insulin correctly? What are the consequences of improper injection techniques? How can you get the best outcomes out of your insulin injections? Learn more from experts about injection techniques and the role of pen needles in enhancing your experience with insulin injections.

We would like to invite you to begin a conversation with your readers by sharing this event with them, and showing them how patients with diabetes can be empowered in their journey through education. The second dialogue will take place on 3 April, 12-1pm at Our Tampines Hub. The live event will be concurrently streamed via Zoom and on the Diabetes Singapore Facebook page.
