A Three-Step Data-Driven Methodology to Assess Adherence to Basal Insulin Therapy in Patients With Insulin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Methodological study

Authors' conclusion

The methodology provides HCPs with detailed access to previously limited clinical data on insulin administration, making it possible to identify specific nonadherence behavior which will guide patient-HCP discussions and potentially provide valuable insights for tailoring the most appropriate forms of support.

Study context

Population
Insulin-treated patients (aged ≥18 years) with T2D using a connected insulin pen
Participants
103 patients
Outcome
Three-step model of basal insulin adherence
Methodological detailsdata from an ongoing clinical trial, connected insulin pen data, Doses categorised as correct, increased, reduced or missed to quantify adherence
  • Data from an ongoing clinical trial
  • Connected insulin pen data
  • Doses categorised as correct, increased, reduced or missed to quantify adherence

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • Three-step model developed evaluating overall adherence, adherence distribution and dose deviation
  • Use of the model exemplified with connected insulin pen data in patient cases
