The Third Injection Technique Workshop in Athens (TITAN).

• The first Injection Technique workshop brought together endocrinologists and injection experts from around the world in Strasbourg in 1997. From its work came groundbreaking recommendations which advanced best practices in areas such as the use of a skin fold when injecting. The second Injection Technique workshop, with an expanded format including nurses and diabetes educators, took place in Barcelona in 2000. The initial stimulus to use shorter injecting needles can be said to date from this meeting. The third Injection Technique workshop was held in Athens in September 2009 and involved 127 experts from across the globe. After a comprehensive review of all publications since 2000 as well as several unpublished studies, the attendees divided into smaller groups to debate and draft new injecting recommendations based on the new data and their collective experience. This paper summarizes all the formal presentations given at this practical consensus workshop.
