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'.teens w type 1 diabetes

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-RT
service
to connect with their young children at school, on sleepovers, at friend's homes and grandma's.

Providers like the ease with which they can monitor their patients like
never before including new scenarios that generate revenue for the
practice 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
