Approaches to display of multiple-point glucose profiles: A UK patient's perspective
1Member of the British Psychological (MBPsS) Society, England, UK kaydan6@gmail.com.
Abstract:
Multiple-point glucose profiles are now acknowledged, in the diabetes literature, as a key way for people with diabetes to analyze and interpret blood glucose control (BGC).(1-3) Combined methods to visualize relevant blood glucose information are increasingly recognized as a more effective method of explaining actionable glucose profiles.(4,15(p564)) This commentary is written from the perspective of a person with type 1 diabetes and might add value to the existing understanding about relevant ways to display BGC data. Through discussion of the limits to current multiple-point glucose displays, for example, AGP "dashboard," a proposed alternative method of graphical display that brings together HbA1c and self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) test data is presented.
