Modern technology can make a big difference when it comes to diabetes patients. New blood glucose meters and intelligent devices to pump insulin are just a few examples of how life can be improved and easier to handle.
One significant parameter to track is the amount of ketones, chemicals produced in the liver for energy by carbohydrates. Depending on the value, they can indicate that the condition isn’t being controlled effectively by insulin present in the body. So devices that monitor ketones can provide an overall better understanding of how they’re managing the condition. One example is the Ketoscan Mini Breath Ketone Meter which can test breath acetone levels with results displayed on the device and in-app, impressive battery life, and an app that allows you to record and review your ketone levels and weight.
Another possibility is the continuous glucose monitor. It involves the insertion of a sensor into a subcutaneous fat layer on the arm or stomach. Once implanted, the sensor communicates with a transmitter placed above it, and the obtained information is passed to a smartphone via Bluetooth. The transmitter will trigger an alarm if it detects that blood glucose levels are too low or too high, and the app can give patients more insight into their glucose levels and what they might do to increase or reduce them as needed.
Finally, smart insulin pens are a great help in controlling Diabetes as the most modern options present built-in wireless communication and sensors that allow patients to track insulin delivery.
During the pumps, these smart insulin pens connect to an app on a user’s smartphone, allowing them to input their latest blood glucose reading and calculate the correct insulin dosage instantly.
