© 2004, John Walsh, PA, CDE Sample Feedback From An Intelligent Device You are having too many lows/highs at lunch Over 2 weeks, 6 readings have been below 50 mg/dl In the last x days, your BG pattern is better/worse Your readings suggest you need more/less insulin Discuss changing your basal rate (carb factor or correction factor) with your doctor right away You often have lows-to-highs. Are you eating excess carbs for your lows? Your current BG and BOB indicate you now need x.x units (or x grams of carb)

© 2004, John Walsh, PA, CDE Summary Intelligent devices are being evaluated and designed to improve BG control in diabetes with less effort. Intelligent devices solve a critical problem: that the current treatment interval of 3 to 4 months between doctors visits is too long Intelligent devices can deliver useful control advice at any time of day Devices provide short treatment intervals and thereby shorten the time to goal
