Lilly Announces Diabetes Research Partnership with University of Surrey
29-Dec-2014
- United Kingdom
Initially the Lilly-Surrey collaboration will focus on some key questions:
- Adherence to therapy: Why do some people follow their diabetes treatment plan while others do not? What role do healthcare providers play in improving adherence rates? What are the barriers and the long-term effects for those who do not adhere to their treatment?
- Triggers for initiation of injectable therapy: People with type 2 diabetes often transition to different therapies in an effort to gain greater control of the disease. These transitions could include moving from an oral treatment to an injectable medicine, such as a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1) or insulin. Which treatment would be best? What factors influence a health-care professional's decision in choosing an injectable option? What factors influence the patient's acceptance of that decision?
- Understanding perspectives of both the patient and healthcare professional: How can health-care providers gain a better understanding of the patient's journey? What are the key questions they and the patient can ask each other? Can real-world perspectives increase understanding of why some patients accept transition from orals to injectables to insulin, while others are less enthusiastic?
