Telemonitoring supports diabetes self-management, but patient perspectives are key for successful implementation. This qualitative sub-study explored individuals with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes in the Diabetes teleMonitoring of patients in insulin Therapy (DiaMonT) trial. Key themes included the role of healthcare professionals, disease insight, and the impact of usability, cost, and flexibility on behavior. Continuous glucose monitoring provided reassurance and supported behavior change, though alarms, skin irritation, and costs could limit use. Participants described a fragmented healthcare system with limited general practitioner involvement. Findings highlight the need for professional support, improved usability, and stronger organizational integration.
