Psychometric Analysis Regarding the Barriers to Providing Effective Insulin Treatment in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

ConclusionThe psychometric results of the ITAS suggested that HbA1c levels were directly associated with a positive attitude of the patient to willingly use insulin for therapy. The cost of the insulin therapy was not associated with HbA1c levels. These findings in the Korean population suggest that continued education is needed to ensure that T2D patients have a reinforced positive psychology toward the use of insulin in the control of their glycemia.
