Hi everyone, I am conducting a research study to understand the opinions and preferences of people in the Diabetes Online Community (DOC) for glucose monitoring devices. I would really appreciate your input into these discussions which will highlight what is important to people in DOC with managing diabetes. More information about the study can be found at:

Please note as this is a research study, your responses to this thread until the 20th of December may be used in a research study. You can choose to opt out of this study until the 23rd of December. If you wish to do so, please click on the link above, fill in the participant opt out form and return it to Emma Tassie by email ([email protected]).
Thanks to all who have taken part so far You are welcome to join at any time, if you have missed a day and would like to discuss those questions please feel free to do so.
On day 1 we would like to speak about day to day life of managing diabetes and technology.
1. Can you tell me about what best helps you manage your diabetes and what parts of diabetes management you find most difficult?
2. What types of diabetes technology have you tried?
3. Are you eager to try new diabetes technology when it is newly available?
On day 2 we would like to know about your experiences of finger prick testing
4. What do you like and dislike about finger prick testing?
5. How many times do you (did you) finger prick test per day?
6. What are/were the biggest barriers to finger prick testing for you?
On day 3 we would like to know about your experiences of flash glucose monitoring (Libre). Today's questions are:
7. What do you like and dislike about flash glucose monitors?
8. Do you find (or think) the flash glucose monitor is useful for day to day diabetes management?
9. Do you (or think you might) use this information to adjust your insulin regimen?
Today is day 4 and it's the second last day, today we would like to know about your experiences and opinions of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). Here are today's questions:
10. What do you like and dislike about CGMs?
11. Do you find (or think) the CGM is useful for day to day diabetes management?
12. Do you (or think you might) use this information to make more adjustments to your insulin regimen?
Today is the last day I’ll be posting questions to the thread – thank you so much to everyone for taking part! Let’s finish it off by discussing what would be your ideal glucose monitoring system. Here are todays questions:
13. If you could choose any of the glucose monitoring devices available, what would you choose and why?
14. Do you think this glucose device could help you more effectively manage your diabetes, and why?
15. What are the most important features of a glucose monitoring system to you?
