Abstract
Aims: We aimed to investigate predictors of insulin uptake, and change in insulin appraisals, among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who participated in the Stepping Up trial. Methods: The Stepping Up model of care, supporting timely insulin initiation in primary care, was evaluated in a two-armed cluster-randomised controlled trial. Participants were 266 adults (mean ± SD age 62 ± 10 years; 39% women) with T2DM (median (IQR) duration 8.5 (5, 13) years) from 74 primary care practices (Stepping Up intervention: 57%, control 43%). At 12 months, 47% (n = 126) had commenced insulin. Controlling for randomisation, logistic regression was used to explore baseline predictors of insulin u..
