Abstract
V Entwistle Dr V Entwistle, Universities of Dundee & St Andrews, Dundee, Scotland, UK; v.a.entwistle@dundee.ac.uk What does being involved in treatment decision making mean to patients with diabetes? Qualitative study. 4 multipractitioner outpatient diabetes clinics in Scotland, UK. 7 adults with type 1 diabetes and 11 with type 2 diabetes (age range 20–79 y, 56% men). Patients participated in semi-structured interviews ⩽1 week after an outpatient visit. Interviews addressed patients’ experiences with, and feelings about, involvement in treatment decision making. Interviews were audiotaped and transcribed, and data were analysed thematically. All patients had an understanding of involvement, and most comments focused on decision making about treatment for which health professionals were the gate keepers.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
