Abstract

In this single-arm pilot study, we demonstrated feasibility and acceptability of an insulin simplification intervention in patients with persistent, poorly-controlled type 2 diabetes on complex insulin regimens. While not powered to assess clinical outcomes, we observed neither worsened glycemic control nor increased hypoglycemia.

Keywords: Diabetes mellitus; Insulin; Simplification.
