STATEMENT OF NEED
Diabetes is an increasing pandemic event affecting 25.8 million people in the United States (US), or 8.3% of the population.1 Of these, 18.8 million people have been diagnosed, while approximately 7 million people remain undiagnosed, and therefore untreated. Despite advances in diabetes treatments and proven benefits of achieving tight glycemic control, 37% of the population with diagnosed diabetes remain uncontrolled (A1C<7%).2-5 Several reasons have been cited as possible explanations for the large percentage of patients with diabetes that remain uncontrolled, including failure to treat aggressively, lack of patient adherence, and lack of patient motivation.3,6 Advances in understanding the pathophysiology of diabetes has led to recommendations for the earlier use of insulin due to the natural physiologic nature of insulin, rapid onset of action, superior efficacy, no dose limits, improvements on lipid profiles, and its effectiveness in achieving glycemic goals.2,3,7,8 However, there is commonly a delay or lack of intensification of insulin due to reluctance from healthcare professionals and patients.9-11 Primary care clinicians need to be acutely aware of the proposed barriers to achieving tight glycemic control and strategies to overcome them in order to have a positive influence and increase glycemic control in their patients. 1Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
