What is important in the treatment of type 2 diabetes?
Health preference research plays a crucial role in supporting patients and physicians in shared decision-making. Such studies reveal what is important to patients in their treatment, thereby enabling recommendations that better meet their needs – improving individualized care, promoting treatment adherence, and potentially reducing complications (Cramer 2004). The presented study investigated the value of treatments by assessing patient preferences. The aim was to gain scientifically sound insights into the preferences of people with type 2 diabetes. In particular, the study examined which aspects are important to patients when choosing medications for combination therapy.
