Download or read book Practical CGM written by Gary Scheiner and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2015-05-06 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of real-time continuous glucose monitors among people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes is growing rapidly and should continue to grow until an artificial pancreas is brought to market. Likewise, use of professional systems in healthcare practices is expanding. But, other than manufacturer instructional manuals and some book chapters on CGMs, there are no standalone publications available with concise, non-commercial instructions on CGM prescription and use. Additionally, continuous glucose monitors are too often not used to their full and proper potential. This leaves users with suboptimal glucose control and can result in system abandonment. To address this, diabetes educator and author Gary Scheiner has created Practical CGM: Improving Patient Outcomes through Continuous Glucose Monitoring to give healthcare providers the skill to make more effective use of the data generated by continuous glucose monitors, in both real-time and on a retrospective analytic basis. Using a plain-language approach and distilling content to concise, practical tips and techniques, Scheiner has created a guide that will help practitioners optimize patient use of CGM systems and, ultimately, improve glucose control and patient health outcomes.

Download or read book Personalized Predictive Modeling in Type 1 Diabetes written by Eleni I. Georga and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personalized Predictive Modeling in Diabetes features state-of-the-art methodologies and algorithmic approaches which have been applied to predictive modeling of glucose concentration, ranging from simple autoregressive models of the CGM time series to multivariate nonlinear regression techniques of machine learning. Developments in the field have been analyzed with respect to: (i) feature set (univariate or multivariate), (ii) regression technique (linear or non-linear), (iii) learning mechanism (batch or sequential), (iv) development and testing procedure and (v) scaling properties. In addition, simulation models of meal-derived glucose absorption and insulin dynamics and kinetics are covered, as an integral part of glucose predictive models. This book will help engineers and clinicians to: select a regression technique which can capture both linear and non-linear dynamics in glucose metabolism in diabetes, and which exhibits good generalization performance under stationary and non-stationary conditions; ensure the scalability of the optimization algorithm (learning mechanism) with respect to the size of the dataset, provided that multiple days of patient monitoring are needed to obtain a reliable predictive model; select a features set which efficiently represents both spatial and temporal dependencies between the input variables and the glucose concentration; select simulation models of subcutaneous insulin absorption and meal absorption; identify an appropriate validation procedure, and identify realistic performance measures. Describes fundamentals of modeling techniques as applied to glucose control Covers model selection process and model validation Offers computer code on a companion website to show implementation of models and algorithms Features the latest developments in the field of diabetes predictive modeling
Download or read book Insulin Pumps and Continuous Glucose Monitoring written by Francine R. Kaufman and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being diagnosed with diabetes, no longer means giving up an active life. New technology, such as insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors, can help people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes stay active and flexible and maintain healthy attitudes and lifestyles. Designed to mimic the action of the pancreas, insulin pumps are small, pager-sized devices that infuse insulin under the skin based on programmed rates. Not only does this eliminate the need for injections, it also allows for small amounts of insulin to to be released throughout the day, and large amounts to be administered at meals based on what's being eaten. When paired with a continuous glucose monitor, which provides a continuous readout of glucose levels, users can enjoy accurate, tight glucose control that provides much greater flexibility and freedom than the old check-and-inject method. Dr. Francine Kaufman's Insulin Pumps and Continuous Glucose Monitoring explains the advances in glucose management, and thoroughly discusses the technology, as well as the physical and psychological aspects of diabetes care. It provides a comprehensive medical approach toward diabetes management and pump therapy with an appreciation of the real-life challenges and frustrations faced every day by people with diabetes.

Download or read book Nutritional and Therapeutic Interventions for Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome written by Debasis Bagchi and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diabetes mellitus affects approximately 20 million people in the US, or nearly 7% of the population. It is expected to increase by 70% within the next 25 years, and numerous epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that type 2 diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is estimated to cost over $92 billion in health care costs and lost productivity. The increased risk is due to the detrimental vascular effects of prolonged exposure to a hyperglycemic, oxidant-rich environment yielding associated cardiovascular risk factors: atherosclerosis, hypertension and clotting abnormalities. Hypertension and dyslipidemia in diabetic patients produces substantial decreases in cardiovascular and microvascular diseases. Nutritional and Therapeutic Interventions for Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome provides an overview of the current epidemic, outlines the consequences of this crisis and lays out strategies to forestall and prevent diabetes, obesity and other intricate issues of metabolic syndrome. The contributing experts from around the world give this book relevant and up-to-date global approaches to the critical consequences of metabolic syndrome and make it an important reference for those working with the treatment, evaluation or public health planning for the effects of metabolic syndrome and diabetes. Scientific discussion of the epidemiology and pathophysiology of the relationship between diabetes and metabolic syndrome Includes coverage of Pre-diabetes conditions plus both Type I and Type II Diabetes Presents both prevention and treatment options

Download or read book Promoting Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Devices at a Pediatric Clinic Through Online Education and Peer Support written by Glenise Mbah and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Type One Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) poses social and health threats to the lives of many individuals. In the past, management of diabetes mellitus has revolved around the use of Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose devices such as fingersticks. Today, advancement in diabetes technology has led to the innovation of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices, which has drastically influence how diabetes is treated. The leaders of this DNP project hoped to bring awareness of CGM to young people with diabetes and provide resources that would assist them in making informed decisions about how to manage this illness. Because CGM use continues to be the lowest among young people (Tanenbaum et al., 2018), an educational program titled Level-Up Workshop was developed to improve how this population perceives and uses CGM devices. The Level-Up Workshop was a virtual educational workshop designed to provide education on CGM use to youth with T1DM receiving diabetes-related care from a pediatric clinic. Workshop activities were geared towards improving problem-solving, trouble-shooting, and social support. Two workshop sessions were implemented and during each session, participants engaged in a series of activies led by a diabetic educator, a CGM device representative, and young people with T1DM. Recruitment to the workshops was challenging, and a total of 4 young people were eventually enrolled. Both patients and staff participants were positive about the experience. Despite the low number of participants, the format of this project shows promise as a means of educating young people with diabetes.
