Structured analysis of the ambulatory glycemic profile in patients with diabetes mellitus

• Natalya A. Chernikova

Abstract

Given the inexorably growing number of patients with diabetes mellitus, their adherence to sufficient glycemic control is extremely important. And now an increasing number of patients are beginning to use modern technology to control their disease. This applies, inter alia, to continuous glucose monitoring. Thanks to this variant of self-control, the patient receives visual data not only on fluctuations of glucose during the day, but also trends in the possible development of a hypo- or hyperglycemic state, displayed as arrows on the device screen. Such clarity contributes both to the greater compliance of patients with the recommendations of the attending physician, and to the improvement of their quality of life due to the possibility of managing their own disease. In turn, the work of the doctor with these technologies - continuous glucose monitoring - allows the latter to implement a personalized approach to the treatment of the patient.
