- Title
Flash glucose monitoring use in community nursing teams: one year on.
- Authors
Gregory, Sarah
- Abstract
In 2022, this journal carried an article outlining a programme within Medway Community Healthcare to apply flash glucose monitoring sensors to patients within a cohort who rely on community nurses to administer their insulin, including people who are housebound and care home residents. The aim was to encourage greater patient autonomy while improving care quality and insulin safety. This follow-up article reports on some of the many challenges and successes of the ongoing project. It also provides data to show some of the outcomes from the first year since implementation, together with examples of the kind of flash glucose monitoring data that the nurses are seeing and the risks relating to insulin initiation, administration and regimen review that they illustrate.
