Description
Summary:The glycaemic benefits of insulin pump therapy vary among individuals, and the reasons for this are not fully clarified. This systematic review synthesizes the literature—eight observational studies in total—on the association between psychosocial factors and HbA 1c in adult insulin pump users. Despite the importance of the topic for society as well as for the individual insulin pump wearer, research within this field is still limited in scope. More research is needed to fully elucidate what influences HbA 1c during insulin pump therapy and what actions should be taken for more people to reach glycaemic goals.
