| Popis: | summary Six patients with type 1 diabetes participated in a pilot trial. Their median age was 36 years (range 29–61) and the median duration of diabetes was 10 years (range 3–29). They were asked to enter, from their home or work PC, blood glucose values, insulin doses and a food diary. From the data entered, a computer model generated a simulation of the blood glucose concentration for the data collection period. It could then suggest alternative insulin doses (or regimes), or meal sizes, to reduce the risk of hypo- and hyperglycaemia. During a six-month study, patients entered a median of five sets of data (range two to eight). Feedback from participants revealed that while the system was helpful, difficulties with data entry hindered its use. Information gained from this exercise is shaping further development of the system. |
