Adherence
Personalized Type 2 Diabetes management, which tailors pharmacotherapy to individual phenotypic, clinical, and personal factors, improves medication adherence, patient satisfaction, and health outcomes compared to rigid algorithmic approaches.
Work with your doctor to build a treatment plan that fits your specific health profile (like kidney or heart status) and your personal life (like fear of hypoglycemia or preference for pills vs. injections). This collaborative approach leads to better adherence and fewer complications than following a generic, one-size-fits-all checklist.
The use of a personalized approach in the management of people with T2D can reduce the cost and failure associated with the algorithmic “one-size-fits-all” approach, to anticipate disease progression, improve the response to diabetes pharmacotherapy and reduce the incidence of diabetes-associated complications. Ultimately, the use of personalized medicine in people with T2D should improve medication adherence, patient satisfaction and quality of life to reduce diabetes distress and improve physical health outcomes.
Why this rating
The paper is a review citing multiple guidelines (ADA, EASD) and observational studies, though it notes a lack of large-scale randomized trials specifically for the 'personalized' construct itself.
