Abstract

In this article, we use noise as a metaphor for the overload of information – embodied, technological and online social – that characterizes life with type 1 diabetes. Noise illustrates embodied sensations of fluctuating blood glucose, measurement problems and alarms from digital self-care devices and irrelevant or emotionally disturbing posts on Facebook. Attunement is crucial to the quality of self-care achieved by individuals and comprises: (1) developing skills to receive clear signals from the body, (2) adjusting and individualizing self-care technologies to bodies and daily lives and (3) discerning appropriate distracting and unhelpful self-care information. Ideally, life with type 1 diabetes is harmonious, with clear messages from bodies, technologies and Facebook that enable better self-care.

噪音与失形:适应1型糖尿病患者的生活

在这篇文章中，我们用噪音来比喻信息超载——具体化的、技术的和在线社交的——这是1型糖尿病患者生活的特征。噪音说明了血糖波动的具体感觉、测量问题、数字自我护理设备发出的警报，以及Facebook上无关紧要或令人情绪不安的帖子。调谐对于个体实现自我护理的质量至关重要，它包括:(1)发展接收来自身体的清晰信号的技能，(2)调整和个性化身体和日常生活的自我护理技术，以及(3)识别适当的分散注意力和无益的自我护理信息。理想情况下，1型糖尿病患者的生活是和谐的，身体、技术和Facebook都能发出清晰的信息，使他们能够更好地自我照顾。
