The Share "plus" intervention improved communication and shared responsibility between persons with diabetes and their care partners (CPs) regarding continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data. This telehealth program fostered better dyadic self-management support for diabetes.
Area of Science:
- Diabetes Management
- Telehealth Interventions
- Dyadic Communication
Background:
- Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is vital for diabetes self-management.
- Care partners (CPs) often support individuals with diabetes.
- Enhanced communication and problem-solving skills are needed for effective CGM data sharing between dyads.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the experiences of persons with diabetes and CPs in the Share "plus" intervention.
- To assess the intervention's impact on dyadic communication, problem-solving, and action planning for CGM data sharing.
Main Methods:
- Ten person with diabetes and CP dyads participated in the Share "plus" telehealth intervention.
- Qualitative interviews were conducted during and after the intervention.
- Thematic analysis was employed to interpret interview data.
Main Results:
- Dyads reported a shared sense of responsibility, with persons with diabetes remaining ultimately responsible for their condition.
- Communication patterns improved, and negative aspects of prior communication were identified.
- Focus shifted to hypoglycemia episodes, with variations in CGM data review frequency and alert settings.
Conclusions:
- The Share "plus" intervention effectively enhanced CGM-related communication and CP support.
- CPs are crucial in supporting older adults with type 1 diabetes.
- Communication strategies are key to improving dyadic involvement in CGM data sharing and diabetes self-management.

Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...
