Expert Opinion on Optimizing Suboptimal Basal Insulin Titration in India: Addressing Challenges and Leveraging Digital Solutions

Basal insulin titration is crucial for achieving optimal glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), yet many patients and healthcare providers encounter persistent challenges in adjusting insulin doses to meet individualized targets. In October 2024, an expert panel of digital health specialists comprising endocrinologists, and diabetologists convened to discuss the limitations associated with suboptimal basal insulin titration and explore the potential of digital health solutions to address these issues. The discussion focused on how digital health tools like app-based services could facilitate more effective self-management, enhance patient engagement, and enable real-time communication in T2DM management. The panel's deliberations underscored the promise of digital health technologies as one of the means to overcome current complexities in basal insulin titration. By leveraging real-time data monitoring, remote consultations, and tailored treatment approaches, these tools offer a scalable progress to improving glycemic outcomes and overall diabetes management.
