简要总结
Putting the limited use of titration algorithms in the context of escalating diabetes prevalence rates, strategies and tools are urgently needed to help both patients and primary care providers efficiently initiate and continue basal insulin therapy. Basel insulin is considered to be the appropriate strategy after oral diabetic agent failure. This project could set the stage for the need for a blood glucose meter with built-in algorithms designed to support decision making by patients as well as care providers. Furthermore, the project will evaluate the uptake and use of the newly developed Meter by Abbott Diabetes Care, which was launched in Canada in October 2014, and its impact on primary care diabetes consultation.
详细描述
The objectives of this study are to
- Describe patients' and care providers' satisfaction associated with the use of the FreeStyle Precision Neo-Meter
- Evaluate the uptake and use of the Meter
- Describe the impact of the Meter on primary care diabetes consultation from care providers' perspectives.
In order to achieve the objectives of this study, diabetes healthcare providers and people with type 2 diabetes who have been using the Neo meter will be interviewed. Maximum variability will be sought for provider discipline and patient demographic characteristics. Sampling will continue until theme saturation is reached. A total of up to 20 (10 care providers and 10 people with diabetes) will be interviewed for this study.
Diabetes healthcare provider interview: Two care providers from each discipline including physicians, nurses, nurse educators and dietitians in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, who have been using the Neo meter will be recruited for interviews. Care providers satisfaction will be assessed after the use of the Meter with sample representation of sole and team based practices.
Patient interviews: Eligible patients who agreed to participate in the study will be provided with a Neo meter and test strips. Their care providers will provide them with instructions, guidance and support in using the device as part of their self-management activities. Patients will be interviewed 3 months after (post only) the use of the Meter to assess their satisfaction with its functionality, capacity, design and ease-of-use.
