Topics include:

• Key features of diabetes apps

To help people with diabetes stay engaged, it’s important to acknowledge and address what’s standing in their way. Cost, communication, the complexity of the insurance system, and clinician bias can all have an impact on patient engagement and access to diabetes technology.

In this episode, our cohosts discuss some common barriers to engagement and conclude that with the right support, tech doesn’t have to be cutting edge to be helpful.

Topics include:

• Addressing alarm fatigue
• Utilizing telehealth and text messages
• Advocacy for patients in a digital health landscape
• Cost and insurance challenges
• Clinician bias due to financial assumptions

For patients, staying on track with diabetes self-management can be a challenge. Each time we end a visit with a diabetes patient, we send them off hoping they’ll follow through on what we’ve discussed. But we can’t control which factors in their lives may get in the way.

In this episode, our cohosts discuss the ways that tech and a patient-centered approach can help clinicians stay connected with patients.

Topics include:

• Rethinking the idea of adherence
• How CGMs are helping patients with aspects of diabetes self-management
• Evaluating patient-created training videos
• Supporting patients while they’re adopting technology
