Text Me, Maybe

To help people with diabetes stay engaged, it’s important to acknowledge and address what’s standing in their way. Cost, communication, the complexity of the insurance system, and clinician bias can all have an impact on patient engagement and access to diabetes technology.

In this episode, our cohosts discuss some common barriers to engagement and conclude that with the right support, tech doesn’t have to be cutting edge to be helpful.

Topics include:

• Addressing alarm fatigue
• Utilizing telehealth and text messages
• Advocacy for patients in a digital health landscape
• Cost and insurance challenges
• Clinician bias due to financial assumptions
