Willingness to start insulin therapy among insulin-naïve persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus at Gulu Regional Referral Hospital, Gulu City, Uganda

2024Open accessGulu University

Abstract

About three in every four participants with DM were willing to receive insulin if indicated. However, healthcare providers should consider personalized counseling strategies to alleviate concerns and enhance informed decision-making regarding insulin initiation. Future interventions should focus on addressing specific barriers associated with prolonged disease duration and apprehensions related to insulin therapy to optimize glycemic control in this population.
