Abstract
Although continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps are now common, less than one-third of patients with type 1 diabetes achieve their diabetes management goals. To help patients reach their targets, frequent adjustments of insulin pump settings by a skilled endocrinologist are needed. However, the task of analyzing weeks of glucose and insulin data are time consuming, and skilled physicians are in short supply, particularly in rural environments. For skilled physicians to see more patients or primary care physicians to assist with managing pump settings, decision support systems are needed. Here, Ankrum discusses a study by Nimri et al to see whether an automated decision support system, DreaMed Advisor Pro, could provide recommendations for adjusting insulin pumps as effectively as skilled endocrinologists.
