Sharing Blood Glucose Data With Your TeamIn some diabetes clinics, you can share your blood glucose readings with your team online. They use a system that can save information from most blood glucose meters, pumps or continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). This means: - your team can see your blood glucose data and give you advice without you going to the clinic
- you can look for patterns to help you have more stable blood glucose levels
- you can look at patterns with your team during appointments
- you do not have to upload data to an app yourself or write numbers in a book
Ask your diabetes team if they use a data sharing system and if it'll work with your meter, pump or CGM. |
OutUK's A to Z of Gay Health continues and you can read this week's feature L: Laxatives. We have covered many subjects in this series and you can catch up with all of our Previous A to Z Features. If you want to find out more about this particular topic you can visit the Original article on the NHS website. If you are worried by any aspect of your health make sure you go and see your doctor or book an appointment at your local clinic. | |
