Abstract
This article summarises the Joint British Diabetes Societies for Inpatient Care (JBDS-IP) Group guidelines on the use of technology to support diabetes care in hospital. The guideline incorporates two main areas: (i) use of wearable technology devices to improve diabetes management in hospital (including continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pump therapy) and (ii) information technology. Although it is reasonable to extrapolate from the evidence available, that devices developed to enhance diabetes care outside hospital will show similar benefits, there are challenges posed within the inpatient setting in hospital. This guidance provides a pragmatic approach to supporting self-management in individuals using wearable technology admitted to hospital. Furthermore, it also aims to provide a best practice guide for using information technology to monitor diabetes care and communicate between health professionals.
期刊介绍:
Diabetic Medicine, the official journal of Diabetes UK, is published monthly simultaneously, in print and online editions.
The journal publishes a range of key information on all clinical aspects of diabetes mellitus, ranging from human genetic studies through clinical physiology and trials to diabetes epidemiology. We do not publish original animal or cell culture studies unless they are part of a study of clinical diabetes involving humans. Categories of publication include research articles, reviews, editorials, commentaries, and correspondence. All material is peer-reviewed.
We aim to disseminate knowledge about diabetes research with the goal of improving the management of people with diabetes. The journal therefore seeks to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers worldwide. Topics covered are of importance to all healthcare professionals working with people with diabetes, whether in primary care or specialist services.
Surplus generated from the sale of Diabetic Medicine is used by Diabetes UK to know diabetes better and fight diabetes more effectively on behalf of all people affected by and at risk of diabetes as well as their families and carers.”
