All had adhered to intensified insulin treatment (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, n = 78; multiple daily injection, n = 84) but had HbA1c (A1C) levels ≥8.1%. Thus, intermittent corrective adjustments of insulin administration, such as the number of boluses or the basal-to-total dose ratio, and food intake adjustments based on the real-time glucose display and alarm functions may have been carried out on an individual basis.
