    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Diabetes Management
    • Healthcare Education

    Background:

    • The American Association of Diabetes Educators and American Diabetes Association endorse a team approach for intensive insulin therapy (IIT).
    • Multidisciplinary healthcare teams are increasingly involved in managing patients on IIT.
    • Initiating and managing IIT programs requires specialized knowledge and coordinated team efforts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a team-based educational course on initiating intensive insulin therapy (IIT) programs.
    • To explore the perceived composition and functioning of healthcare teams involved in IIT.

    Main Methods:

    • A course on initiating IIT programs was delivered to 18 multidisciplinary healthcare teams.
    • Outcomes were assessed based on participant responses to the team approach and education provided.

    Main Results:

    • Participants responded positively to the team approach and the educational content.
    • The study identified ambiguities regarding the optimal structure and roles within healthcare "teams" for IIT.

    Conclusions:

    • While a knowledgeable and skilled team is crucial for safe IIT implementation, clarity is needed on who should lead and comprise these teams.
    • Further research is necessary to define the ideal composition and functioning of healthcare teams for intensive insulin therapy programs.
