Basal regimen: once a day subcutaneous injection of long-acting or ultra-long-acting insulin; b. Premixed regimen: two/three times a day subcutaneous injection of premixed insulin; c. Basal mealtime regimen: three times a day before meals subcutaneous injection of short-acting or rapid-acting insulin, plus once a day injection of long-acting or ultra-long-acting insulin.
Exclusion criteria
\- Cases will be excluded if there is insufficient information for a valid assessment (missing data on insulin or blood glucose \>40%). Doctor Inclusion Criteria: licensed medical practitioner.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Doctors' decision-making accuracy | up to 2 months | The investigators used MAE and clinical agreement to quantitatively assess the accuracy of clinician-recommended insulin doses. 1. Mean Absolute Error (MAE) represents the error between the clinician-recommended value and the expert-recommended value (gold standard). 2. Clinical agreement: Clinical agreement is calculated as the proportion of clinically consistent insulin doses (clinician-given adjustments in the same direction as the expert's protocol and within 20% of the dose difference) to the total insulin dose. |
| Doctors' decision-making confidence | up to 2 months | Clinicians' confidence in decision-making was assessed using a 10-point Likert scale from 1 (not at all confident) to 10 (completely confident). |
