Abstract
Basal insulin titration is crucial for achieving optimal glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), yet many patients and healthcare providers encounter persistent challenges in adjusting insulin doses to meet individualized targets. In October 2024, an expert panel of digital health specialists comprising endocrinologists, and diabetologists convened to discuss the limitations associated with suboptimal basal insulin titration and explore the potential of digital health solutions to address these issues. The discussion focused on how digital health tools like app-based services could facilitate more effective self-management, enhance patient engagement, and enable real-time communication in T2DM management. The panel's deliberations underscored the promise of digital health technologies as one of the means to overcome current complexities in basal insulin titration. By leveraging real-time data monitoring, remote consultations, and tailored treatment approaches, these tools offer a scalable progress to improving glycemic outcomes and overall diabetes management.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all areas of diabetes. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Diabetes Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
