Authors' recommendations: For type 1 diabetes, three expert stakeholders ranked adolescents as the highest priority age group for future research, and three stakeholders ranked the artificial pancreas as the highest priority for future research. For future research on glucose monitoring methods in patients with type 1 diabetes, all Stakeholders identified rt-CGM as the highest priority. For younger populations (children and adolescents) of patients with type 1 diabetes, adherence was ranked as the highest priority outcome for inclusion in future research. For adults and elderly patients with type 1 diabetes, most stakeholders ranked severe hypoglycemia as the highest priority outcome for inclusion in future research. Among insulin-requiring type 2 patients with diabetes, three stakeholders ranked adults as the highest priority age group for future research. For all patients with insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes, three Stakeholders ranked the sensor-augmented insulin pump as the highest priority for research on insulin delivery methods. Likewise, for future research on glucose monitoring methods in patients with insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes, three stakeholders identified rt-CGM as the highest priority. Most stakeholders ranked HbA1c as the highest priority outcome to include in future research on insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes.
