Sometimes we don’t share everything we know about a patient with them. We make that decision based on experience and how much data we think a particular patient can understand or use.
This is definitely true when we consider using monitoring technology with patients. The use of CGM has definitely raised questions as to how patients could use the data. Over the past couple of weeks, we have explored the use of CGM.
This week we looked at the benefits of giving the patients full real-time information and letting them use it to manage their own care.
