  • Title: Improving patient acceptance and adherence in diabetes management: a focus on insulin therapy.
    Author: Rakel RE.
    Journal: Adv Ther; 2009 Sep; 26(9):838-46. PubMed ID: 19768641.
    Abstract:
    Maintaining tight glycemic control is an important issue for patients with type 2 diabetes. Empowering patients to be actively involved in the management of their diabetes can improve glycemic control through education, communication, and the use of patient-friendly insulin regimens. The primary care physician plays an important role in helping patients manage their disease by encouraging initiation of treatment with insulin analogs, which are more convenient, more predictable, and better tolerated than traditional human insulin therapies. Modern insulin delivery devices, such as insulin pens, may also help improve patient acceptance of insulin therapy.
