Challenges

The client aimed to understand the challenges patients face when titrating basal insulin at home, addressing issues related to confidence, knowledge, and self-monitoring. Additionally, they sought to evaluate the potential advantages a smart device could bring to patients and identify key messages for future communication strategies.
