Study protocol for exploring diabetes numeracy and health literacy across Europe (<scp>EDUCATE</scp>): A multicentre cross‐sectional study
EDUCATE will assess digital health literacy and numeracy in people with diabetes on intensive insulin regimens across four European countries. A deeper understanding of the current landscape of health literacy and its association with glycaemic outcomes may support the development of targeted interventions. These interventions are aimed at empowering people with diabetes and reducing socio-economic and cultural health disparities.
