We will communicate through social media such as WhatsApp and Snapchat as this is easy for everyone and we all check these regularly
2. If unable to do work for a certain deadline, make sure the rest of the group is informed so we do not fall behind
3. We need to compromise so that everyone has equal workloads
4. We need to time-manage to ensure we do not fall back on our deadlines.]]> 2020-09-30 09:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/stalukder3/5bc7mhht7p05vaju/wish/790693509 Effect of Flash Glucose Monitoring on Glycemic Control, Hypoglycemia, Diabetes-Related Distress, and Resource Utilization in the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists: hannahgrahim https://padlet.com/stalukder3/5bc7mhht7p05vaju/wish/803266276 2020-10-05 14:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/stalukder3/5bc7mhht7p05vaju/wish/803266276 Task Sheet bt20466 https://padlet.com/stalukder3/5bc7mhht7p05vaju/wish/803268458 2020-10-05 14:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/stalukder3/5bc7mhht7p05vaju/wish/803268458 Effects of real-time continuous glucose monitoring in type 1 diabetes: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials: hannahgrahim https://padlet.com/stalukder3/5bc7mhht7p05vaju/wish/803273249 2020-10-05 14:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/stalukder3/5bc7mhht7p05vaju/wish/803273249 "Flash glucose monitoring for diabetes" hannahgrahim https://padlet.com/stalukder3/5bc7mhht7p05vaju/wish/803277905 2020-10-05 14:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/stalukder3/5bc7mhht7p05vaju/wish/803277905 hannahgrahim https://padlet.com/stalukder3/5bc7mhht7p05vaju/wish/803281597 2020-10-05 14:43:11 UTC https://padlet.com/stalukder3/5bc7mhht7p05vaju/wish/803281597 Plan bt20466 https://padlet.com/stalukder3/5bc7mhht7p05vaju/wish/803302510 Everyone to read NHS article so we all understand the topic.

It measures sugar levels within the skin's fluid. This system is built of sensor which is stuck to the skin and through the use of a reader may be scanned therefore enabling us to read the sugar levels. 

Advantage:
Through the use of a smartphone app sensor may be scanned.

Disadvantages:
Flash doesn't have alarm to demonstrate the hypo/hyper warning.
Not very cheap around 150 to get a starter pack.

Urine testing was the first technique used from the mid-1800s. The first self-monitoring glucose meter was invented in the 1970s. It was inaccurate and required quite a large blood sample at first. However, by the 1980s, the Dextrostix was precise and cheap enough to successfully be integrated into diabetes treatment as a form of self-monitoring using finger-pricking. (Hirsch, 2018, p. 1) Using a blood sample from finger-pricking  became the common technique for monitoring glucose. Flash Glucose monitoring (FGM) is an extremely recent improvement in the industry. Abbot Diabetes Care introduced the first FGM device, the FreeStyle Libre, in 2014. Since then, they have improved their device further. The first generation sensors could only be worn for 10 days but the second generation sensors last 14 days. The second generation is also more accurate, due to it having a lower mean absolute relative difference. (Klimek M. et al. 2019. p. 225)

How it’s used. ]]> 2020-10-13 14:40:17 UTC https://padlet.com/stalukder3/5bc7mhht7p05vaju/wish/825087827 Draft bt20466 https://padlet.com/stalukder3/5bc7mhht7p05vaju/wish/825543477 Rather than measuring glucose levels in the blood, as previous glucose monitoring systems did, Flash Glucose Monitoring (FGM) measures the glucoses levels in the interstitial fluid, the fluid surrounding cells. (Palylyk-Colwell, E. and Ford, C. (2016). Flash Glucose Monitoring System for Diabetes. [online] PubMed.). 
This new treatment is carried out by attaching a small, circular sensor to the patients arm, this sensor is connected to a 'reader' that displays the patients glucose levels at a given time. FGM allows the patient to easily carry this process out quickly numerous times throughout the day to provide continuous information about the patients glucose activities. Another advantage of this is that the patient can correspond their glucose levels with certain activities, for example, if eating certain foods leads to a rise in their glucose level it helps them to avoid this in future. In order to qualify for FGM a patient must meet certain requirements, such as needing to check glucose levels at least 8 times a day  (Type 1 diabetes - Flash monitoring (Freestyle Libre)
