A Patient-Driven Approach to Manage Mealtime Insulin Titration: Tools From the AUTONOMY Study

Allison Camacho et al. Diabetes Educ. 2016 Jun.

Abstract

Purpose: Patient-centric methods to support diabetes management are important to overcome barriers associated with initiating mealtime insulin. This article describes the subject-driven titration tools implemented in the AUTONOMY trial to initiate and adjust mealtime insulin dose and the methods used to apply these tools in clinical practice.

Conclusions: The methods used to initiate and escalate mealtime insulin in the AUTONOMY trial proved to be safe and effective, and the patient-friendly guide to self-adjusting mealtime insulin dose may mitigate the complexities associated with treatment intensification while empowering patients to reach their glycemic goals.
