Insulin Administration Errors are one of the Nation’s Biggest Threats to Patient Safety

  • Insulin has been associated with more medication errors than any other type or class of drug. 
  • Insulin is the leading drug involved in harmful medication errors.
  • It represents 16% of all medication error events with reported harm.
  • Injection technique, needle size, and needle reuse are significant factors that contribute to managing positive therapeutic outcomes for diabetic patients.
