Determining Insulin Pump Candidacy: The Disconnect Between Clinical Care Guidelines and Clinical Practice
Less than half of endocrinologists referenced national guidelines for pump candidacy, with many relying on nonevidence-based criteria. These findings demonstrate an important disconnect between guideline recommendations and clinical practice that may lead to underutilization of insulin pumps, which can enhance diabetes care and outcomes. Additional work is needed to better align clinical practice with current recommendations.
