What training and support do people need to make optimal use of automated insulin delivery systems: Interview study
Authors' conclusion
AID systems are an exciting advance in diabetes treatment. However, to achieve optimal gains, users would benefit from initial training and ongoing glycaemic, educational, and psychosocial support tailored to their preferred ways of learning and personal circumstances. Consideration should be given to adapting existing education and training packages for AID system users to incorporate behavioural science techniques and upskilling diabetes professionals in behaviour change approaches and motivational interviewing.
