New Device Helps Doctors Improve Diabetes Care
Your blood glucose meter, as well as the many apps on your phone, can help you track your health progress at home. However, when you visit the healthcare provider, you may not have time to go over all of this data. In turn, your diabetes care may not be as helpful as it could be in preventing low and high blood glucose episodes. A new device by Glooko can plug into your blood glucose meter and upload all of your blood glucose readings to your phone so you can send your healthcare provider your data files. This transfer of data can help your healthcare provider know when you may be having low or high blood glucose episodes, so they can tweak your diabetes care plan to improve your health outcomes. If you show a dangerous trend of low blood glucose levels, your healthcare provider will know that they need to contact you right away so you can avoid a trip to the hospital.
