Clinical Diabetes : a Publication of the American Diabetes Association

Abstract

We performed a survey of 305 patients with type 2 diabetes receiving basal insulin and 240 physicians to measure key contrasts and similarities in patients' preferences and providers' beliefs and perceptions regarding insulin use. Many patients reported being more frustrated with their lack of treatment progress than physicians were aware of. Patients were also more likely to say they would do more than their physicians believed they would to better manage their diabetes. Identifying priorities and setting clear goals and timelines for achieving glycemic control could provide an opportunity to address these differences and reduce patients' frustration.
