Insights Into Real-Time Diabetes Intelligence (DI)
September 24th, 2007 by Kevin 
Or more simply put, I won’t be the idiot dad calling home to ask “What’s for dinner?” right in the middle of what is most likely a site change or some form of trouble shooting the insulin pump, etc…
I just thought I would take a minute to share what it’s like to have real-time automated intelligence within the family dynamic of type 1 diabetes. I don’t know too many endocrinologists who would understand why I would want to get a real-time glucose alert (via email as shown above or on my cell phone which is my primary DI interface) when diabetes is managed by trends.
Yet, providers that work with patients in our trials are thrilled to receive automated blood sugar trending reports based on algorithms that define high risk. While these reports are infrequent, they are reliable and improve efficiency. That’s been missing from the world of self-reported patient data for years.
In this new world of patient-centric technologies, we need to realize how many players are on the patient’s team and that the needs of each team member are different. With automated diabetes management systems (ADMS), everyone gets what they ordered and none of what they don’t want or need.
I wonder what’s for dinner?
