Burden of Current Insulin Therapy and Expectations for Future Insulin Therapy: Results from INBEING, a Web-Based Survey in Japan.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This survey assessed the perspectives of physicians, people with diabetes (PWD), and caregivers in Japan regarding initiation barriers and treatment burden associated with insulin therapy, and expectations for new insulin therapies.

Methods

An online survey, conducted May-June 2023, was completed by physicians (n = 411), PWD (type 1 diabetes, n = 108; type 2 diabetes [T2D]: insulin-naive, n = 114; insulin-treated, n = 108), and caregivers (family members, n = 107; nurses, n = 117; care workers, n = 104). Agreement with statements regarding initiation barriers, current feelings, and burden of insulin therapy was assessed. Physicians' views on ideal glycated hemoglobin (HbA_1c) levels and actual levels in PWD at insulin initiation were captured.
