The Lived Experience of Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: A Phenomenological Inquiry
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is a complex, medical device for the management of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). There is limited research exploring the everyday experiences living with this device. The purpose of this study was to understand the lived experience of adults using CSII therapy to manage T1DM. Lived experiences from eight individuals were collected through semi-structured interviews and then analyzed using a hermeneutic approach to phenomenology. Four substantive themes with supporting subthemes were identified and represent the essence of participant experiences; that is, living with CSII eventually took ascendancy over managing T1DM.CSII therapy has gained popularity due to reported improvements in metabolic control and flexibility. However, the burden of the responsibility and psychological implications of CSII took ascendancy over T1DM. Living with CSII impacts the psychological well-being of individuals so psychological complications are as important to assess by healthcare professionals as physical and metabolic complications.

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.
