ABSTRACT
Devices have facilitated improvement in glycemia in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), but self-management remains key. It is unclear whether people review their device data before clinic appointment. We assessed this by a survey. T1DM adults using glucose sensors and/or insulin pumps attending an Australian public hospital (diabetes clinics >4 months) were prospectively surveyed. The percentage who uploaded and reviewed their data was determined and their interest in education facilitating understanding of their device data was assessed. Of 138 adults (100% participation rate), 79% uploaded and 32% reviewed their device data before their clinic appointments. Individuals using pumps with sensors were most likely to review their data. Median HbA1c levels were lower in those who did versus did not review their device data (50.8 vs. 61.8 mmol/mol, P = 0.0001). Most (89%) were interested in education. Although diabetes technology has improved glycemia in T1DM, the benefits may be maximized through device-specific education programs enhancing self-management.
