GlucoPALS Coming of Age
June 28th, 2009 by KevinI first started using the GlucoPALS term to describe a certain protocol of using our system to connect peers inside of patient-centric teams back in 2005 while working closely with a teen who was then using the second generation GlucoMON. It seems that this model of self-care is taking hold with large care delivery systems both here in Texas and another one primarily located in California.
Now 4 years seems like a very long time but I read an article a few months ago that said it takes about 17 years for anything new to catch on in the practice of medicine. Only 13 years to go.
