چکیده

Real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) is the latest technological breakthrough in diabetes care. Despite its limitations of lag time between sensor and blood glucose, the need for calibration, false detection of and failure to detect hypoglycemia, and mild discomfort or skin irritation reported in some users, RT-CGM is a highly beneficial tool that can be used to detect nocturnal or unrecognized hypoglycemia and glycemic variability. This, in turn, can lead to better treatment decisions, which may improve metabolic control and decrease the incidence and progression of diabetes complications. The RT-CGM devices are fairly accurate and easy to use. It is not difficult to establish a clinical RT-CGM program in the office. However, it requires persistence and an understanding of the patient's perspective of using RT-CGM so it can be presented and taught appropriately. This article discusses the benefits and limitations of RT-CGM and establishment of a RT-CGM program in the clinical setting.

Design and Evaluation of a Pressure and Temperature Monitoring System for Pressure Ulcer Prevention

Introduction Pressure ulcers are tissue damages resulting from blood flow restriction, which occurs when the tissue is exposed to high pressure for a long period of time. These painful sores are common in patients and elderly, who spend extended periods of time in bed or wheelchair. In this study, a continuous pressure and temperature monitoring system was developed for pressure ulcer preventio...
