Question for CareLink Users - How Often?

[kevin@diabetech.net]

As part of a study we're supporting at a diabetes center with endos and CDEs, they also want to informally benchmark frequency of patient review for blood glucose patterns. CareLink is probably a good comparison and this forum must have several users of CareLink. Please respond to the poll and in a week or so I'll share the anonymous results with the diabetes center. They are trying to get a handle on what the patient is doing on their own vs. how they work with patients from a provider-directed viewpoint (2 different worlds).

Thanks

I chose weekly, but sometimes it is two weeks, sometimes it is 2 days - it really depends on how BS is doing.

I check bi-weekly to be able to download the data into Excel so I can analyze it. I tend to actually do it more because of patterns and such!

It is so much easier to do now with the Carelink USB , I like not having to drag out the BD link and cord (being EXTRA careful not to snap then end off), just to upload my pump to my computer.

We use carelink about once a month. I can 't understand any of the reports, but it's nice to have all the info in one place. I am a horrible record keeper.
