Educating Connected Device Wearers on Data Uploads

The review of data from wearables and connected devices is an important part of the telehealth/virtual visit for the person with diabetes (PWD) and their health care provider (HCP). This resource guide provides an overview to assist the person with diabetes to upload their personal data from continuous glucose monitors, connected insulin delivery devices, and insulin pumps in preparation for a visit with their health care provider.

Health care providers and support staff can provide education for users of technology about how to send or give providers access to their data for in-office visits as well as telehealth or virtual care visits. Keep in mind that this may be the very first experience that an individual has had with uploading their data, because clinic staff may have always done this for them in the past at in-person health care visits.

Telehealth visits occur between individuals and health care providers over a chosen audio-visual platform. The appointed staff person should provide education about the platform and about uploading their device data for the person with diabetes prior to the time of their virtual/office visit. This will ensure that the PWD and their health care provider are able to access their data on a supported device whether using a smart phone, tablet, laptop or PC.
