This study explored healthcare professionals' perspectives on the management of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) through a two-part questionnaire. The first part examined how clinicians prioritise and apply current clinical guidelines, including the relative importance assigned to different aspects of T1DM management. The second part investigated clinicians' perceptions of patients' ability to interpret data from the glucose monitoring devices and to make appropriate treatment decisions. An online questionnaire was completed by 19 healthcare professionals working in diabetes-related roles in the United Kingdom. The findings revealed that blood glucose management is prioritised within clinical guidance and that advice is frequently tailored to individual patient needs. Additionally, clinicians generally perceive that data presented in glucose monitoring devices is easy for patients to interpret and based on these data, they believe that patients occasionally make correct treatment decisions.
