CGM in Combination with Personalized Decision Support (PDS) - A New Tool to Improve Routine Diabetes Care

摘要

The model-based Karlsburg Diabetes Management System (KADIS?) has been developed as a personalized decision support (PDS) program to assist physicians in their efforts to achieve optimal metabolic control in each individual patient. For this purpose, KADIS? was evaluated in combination with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) under different conditions and, last but not least, applied in routine diabetes care. The outcomes of running of PDS for nearly 4 years in routine outpatient diabetes care has convincingly demonstrated that the recommendations provided to the physicians by KADIS? lead to significant improvement of individual metabolic control. It is concluded that this kind of model-based PDS provides an excellent tool to effectively guide physicians in decision making to achieve optimal metabolic control for their patients.
