Abstract
Achieving compensation of carbohydrate metabolism indicators is a priority in the treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus. However, repeated measurements of glucose levels, especially in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D), lead to rapid burnout and increased anxiety of the patient. Digital assistants help to increase the patient's commitment to treatment, compliance with the schedule of daily measurements of blood glucose, timely correction of therapy and optimization of various types of medical care (traditional visits, telemedicine consultations, online consultations). Based on clinical research data, it is currently known that the use of digital assistants contributes to achieving a stable clinical result of treatment, reducing the number of hospitalizations for diabetes decompensation, and reducing patient anxiety about their disease. This article presents a clinical case of managing a patient with T1D who used a glucometer with the ability to maintain an electronic self-monitoring diary, followed by telemedicine consultation with an endocrinologist based on data from structured reports generated in the glucometer application. The results obtained demonstrate the advantages of using individual digital assistants in the daily life of patients with diabetes.
