Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate how diabetes treatment satisfaction varies by ethnicity among individuals with type 2 diabetes who have poor glycaemic control, highlighting a gap in current data about patient satisfaction in this context.
- A total of 346 participants took part in an 8-month clinical trial, completing the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ) to assess their treatment satisfaction, which was found to be high overall.
- The results indicated that treatment satisfaction was especially high among Pacific peoples and older individuals, even though many participants had insufficient glucose-lowering therapy and suboptimal glycaemic control.
Aims: To establish interest in medical research and student training, based on demographics of those attending public-funded diabetes services and types of research.
Method: Patients who attended the Auckland Diabetes Centre (ADC) between July 2018 and July 2019 were invited via text message (SMS) to register their interest in being contacted for future health research projects and medical training. Consenting adults were enrolled in the Auckland Diabetes Centre Volunteer Database (ADCVD) and sent a survey on the acceptability of various types of research and factors influencing participation.
