Why do some people with type 2 diabetes who are using insulin have poor glycaemic control? A qualitative study.


ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore factors influencing poor glycaemic control in people with type 2 diabetes using insulin.

Research design

A qualitative method comprising in-depth individual interviews. A semistructured interview guide was used. The interviews were audiorecorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using a thematic approach.

Participants

Seventeen people with type 2 diabetes using insulin with glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) ?9% for >1?year.

Setting

The Primary Care Clinic and Diabetes Clinic in the University of Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), Malaysia.

Results

Data analysis uncovered four themes: lifestyle challenges in adhering to medical recommendations; psychosocial and emotional hurdles; treatment-related factors; lack of knowledge about and self-efficacy in diabetes self-care.

Conclusions

Factors that explain the poor glycaemic control in people with type 2 diabetes using insulin were identified. Healthcare providers could use these findings to address patients' concerns during consultations and help to improve glycaemic control.
