| description | Just as physicians managing patients with diabetes find that it is a data-driven process, for patients living with diabetes, it is even more so, as physicians see them every few months, but patients need to live with diabetes all the time.

Healthcare professionals who care for patients with diabetes should be aware of the digital health technologies that enable patients to better care for themselves, be more active participants in their healthcare, and improve the quality of their lives. |
