Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Optimal basal insulin titration for people with type 2 diabetes is vital to effectively reducing the risk of complications. However, a sizeable proportion of people (30-50 %) remain in suboptimal glycemic control six months post-initiation of basal insulin. This indicates a clear need for novel titration methods that account for individual patient variability in real-world settings.
