Also, the patient will be taught how to use the information to manage his health condition, and how to send it to his physician for further guidance.
Determine and Evaluate Success (3)
- The patient’s ability to use of the glucose buddy will be determined by evaluating how well the he applies the app to collect the data regarding his health condition such as his carb intake, blood sugar, and insulin dosages.
- Also, the success of the teaching program will be determined by examining his ability to interpret and use the data to manage his health condition.
