Glucose Meters with Built-In Automated Bolus Calculator: Gadget or Real Value for Insulin-Treated Diabetic Patients?
Self-monitoring of blood glucose is now widely recognized as efficacious to enhance and facilitate diabetes management. More than just a means of recording and storing data, some blood glucose meters (BGMs) are now designed with an embedded automated bolus calculator (ABC) with the goal to propose patients recommendations about insulin dosage. The growing literature in this field tends to claim...
متن کاملPerformance of a glucose meter with a built-in automated bolus calculator versus manual bolus calculation in insulin-using subjects.
BACKGROUND Patients consider multiple parameters in adjusting prandial insulin doses for optimal glycemic control. Difficulties in calculations can lead to incorrect doses or induce patients to administer fixed doses, rely on empirical estimates, or skip boluses. METHOD A multicenter study was conducted with 205 diabetes subjects who were on multiple daily injections of rapid/ short-acting in...
متن کاملCommentary on "Performance of a glucose meter with a built-in automated bolus calculator versus manual bolus calculation in insulin-using subjects".
Since the early 2000s, there has been an exponentially increasing development of new diabetes-applied technology, such as continuous glucose monitoring, bolus calculators, and "smart" pumps, with the expectation of partially overcoming clinical inertia and low patient compliance. However, its long-term efficacy in glucose control has not been unequivocally proven. In this issue of Journal of Di...
متن کاملBolus calculator settings in well-controlled type 1 diabetes patients (glycated hemoglobin < 7%) treated with insulin pumps.
Corresponding Author: Tomasz Klupa, M.D., Ph.D., Department of Metabolic Diseases, Jagiellonian University, 15 Kopernika St., 31-501 Kraków, Poland; email address [email protected] Two regimens of insulin therapy are used to achieve the goal of near normoglycemia: multiple daily injections (MDI) and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII).1 Due to the apparent improvement in qualit...
متن کاملUse of an Automated Bolus Calculator in MDI-Treated Type 1 Diabetes
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of flexible intensive insulin therapy (FIIT) and an automated bolus calculator (ABC) in a Danish type 1 diabetes population treated with multiple daily injections. Furthermore, to test the feasibility of teaching FIIT in a 3-h structured course. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The BolusCal Study was a 16-week randomized, controlled, open-label, three-arm parall...
