The insulin interview
The insulin interview offers help to better deal with concerns or fears about starting insulin. It is a tool to enable people with diabetes to make confident treatment choices with minimal anxiety. The DAWN study showed that most people with type 2 diabetes have anxieties and preconceptions about starting insulin. The insulin interview is designed to enable patients to identify and address their concerns. Six short questions invites the patient to identify his level of agreement or disagreement with statements about different aspects of starting insulin. Based on the responses a personalised result will appear with a video providing facts to address and counter the patient’s concerns. These can be allayed by informed discussion with a healthcare professional. Go to: The insulin interview
