Toward more patient-centered diabetes care in Switzerland: Patient perspectives and practical solutions
Giger, O.-F.
Show abstract
This study investigates the challenges and enablers of self-management in type 2 diabetes, the role of primary care in diabetes management, and patients preferences for additional support services in Switzerland. Participants reported significant difficulties in sustaining behavioral changes and emphasized the need for more structured guidance to improve self-management. Many felt unsupported in primary care, stating that their general practitioners could have intervened earlier when they were at high risk but before an official diagnosis. Additionally, patients highlighted the lack of centralized, up-to-date diabetes resources in Switzerland, contrasting it with structured systems like the National Health Service in the United Kingdom. There was also a strong demand for a unified digital health platform to consolidate glucose readings, blood pressure data, and medication lists, ensuring seamless integration with healthcare providers. These findings underscore the need for patient-centered diabetes management strategies that integrate digital innovations, proactive primary care interventions, and accessible, evidence-based resources to enhance self-management.
