Figure 2. Therapy recommendations based on preference variations.
The proportion of the NHANES population recommended each medication based on variations in their preferences. The results show the proportion of time that a medication class is the first-ranked therapy from the model, if a patient only selects one decision criterion in the decision-making process. The online decision tool enables multiple decision criteria to be weighted.41 Legend: “HbA1c”: hemoglobin A1c; “body weight”: weight gain; “hypoglycemia”: risk of hypoglycemia; “cost”: out of pocket patient drug cost for 3 months; “daily testing”: desire to avoid daily glucose testing; “injection”: desire to avoid parenteral medications.
