What They're Saying
"I have seen and used lots of different log sheets . . . but none of them hold a candle to the GlucoMON's report, which is not only automatic but also logs blood glucose results in hourly time-slots, highlights highs and lows, and makes trend analysis simple."
— David Mendosa, a writer on the web (product review published on Healthcentral.com)Search

Type 1 Teens
Teens with type 1 diabetes have a special need to balance the demands of their complex management routine with those of a growing need for independence.
The compromise is called 'interdependence'.
Programs from mygluco deliver the benefit of automated notifications to their parents. The key is for parents to get the information they need while still allowing teens to exercise their own judgement with oversight from afar.
Teens are also busy and tend to have less time for their diabetes as they move into their high school years. Automating reporting of trends helps to simplify the daily task of diabetes and allows even the busiest teen to spot their trends and to take action to keep blood sugars in range more often, minimize the frequency and severity of low blood sugars and avoid extended episodes of high blood sugars.
Families of teens with type 1 diabetes love using the GlucoMON-RTservice to connect with their young children at school, on sleepovers, at friend's homes and grandma's.Read more about the preliminary results from our RightNow! Study on the Team Management of Children with type 1 diabetes listed at the clinicaltrials.gov website (recruiting closed 12/31/2007 with final results planned for publishing in late 2008).
Providers like the ease with which they can monitor their patients likenever before including new scenarios that generate revenue for thepractice for patient initiated consults.
Teens like anything that helps them simplify daily management.
Programs for this group focus on:
- improved safety and self-care due to real-time monitoring from school or elsewhere
- automated pattern management using the Day over Day Report and its effect on frequency of review for blood glucose trending
- minimizing the frequency of severe hypoglycemia (below the normal range)
- reducing the number of episodes of extended hyperglycemia (above the normal range)
- enhancing the quality of family life w streamlined communication including two-way text messaging automated by Diabetech's ADMS ™ (automated diabetes management system)
This segment of the diabetes community is also first with access to a new breed of concierge "VIP" level of care we call Diabetes HouseCall.This is a new practice currently accepting new patients throughoutTexas and Iowa with availability in additional States coming soon - assoon as we can recruit and train additional qualified pediatric endocrinologistsand local pediatricians.
It is also very important to note that extensive clinical trials have been conducted to understand the impact of this kind of technology enhanced program. The following is a summary of one clinical trial that Diabetech supported at Texas Children's Hospital conducted under the supervision of Rubina Heptual, MD. The study is published at ScienceDirect.com.
A summary of the study supported by Diabetech® technology follows:
Effect on HbA1c Levels of Children from Long-Range Wireless Monitoring Pilot: In a randomized, controlled pilot study, 34 Type I diabetic children completed a 3 month open-label study using GPRS long-range wireless transmission of blood glucose data. Subjects were children with an avg. age of 14 who had had Type 1 diabetes for an avg. of 6 years with an avg. HbA1c of 11.0 ± 1.5 %. The control group used manual logging of data, while the intervention group used the long-range wireless transmission of blood glucose data. At the beginning of the trial, HbA1c was comparable in the control and intervention group (11.2 ± 1.3 % vs. 10.8 ± 1.6 %, p = 0.56). After 3 months the HbA1c in the control group was unchanged (11.2 ± 1.3 % vs. 11.5 ± 1.7 %, p = 0.40), while HbA1c in the wireless-enabled intervention group went from 10.8 ± 1.6 % to 9.2 ± 1.1% (p < 0.0001) over 3 months. These findings indicate that long range wireless-enabled blood glucose monitoring can significantly improve HbA1c levels in children with poorly controlled T1D.
