-The Libre, unlike a continuous glucose monitor, does not alert you if your blood glucose is going high or low unless the sensor is scanned
-Patients may have possible skin reaction to the skin adhesive
-Cost of the sensor is $89 each which test strips cost $0.75/strip
-Initial accuracy of glucose readings may be reduced the first day after insertion due to an initial inflammation process]]> 2019-02-14 20:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/spochron/d81gsoq2ddsq/wish/331527123 spochron https://padlet.com/spochron/d81gsoq2ddsq/wish/331529840 -Glucose checks are quick, convenient, and painless

I chose Daisy in order to initiate the process change in the organization.  As a developer, Daisy will be able to help build the stakeholders team through relationship building.  

The analytical side of Angelica will assist the team in strategically planning the implementation process and to evaluate the effectiveness of the process.  

Randall was chosen for the group project due to his strong sense of responsibility.  He will be the point person of the group and will keep the group accountable.  

For the strategic planning and trouble shooting through the implementation I chose Sheila for the group.  She will be the quick thinker of our group and be able to help with any alternate implementation plans.  

The final group member will be Carter.  Carter's strength is his communication so he will be in charge of our group presentation and getting the buy in from the physician staff.  ]]> 2019-02-14 21:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/spochron/d81gsoq2ddsq/wish/331540376 spochron https://padlet.com/spochron/d81gsoq2ddsq/wish/331890958 2019-02-15 19:46:31 UTC https://padlet.com/spochron/d81gsoq2ddsq/wish/331890958 spochron https://padlet.com/spochron/d81gsoq2ddsq/wish/331895556 The FreeStyle LibreLink is a continuous glucose monitoring system that decreases the need for fingersticks and allows for monitoring of blood sugars at fifteen minute intervals.  The FreeStyle Libre is a sensor that is worn for fourteen days and can be scanned for data transmission of blood glucose levels using the LibreLink app.  ]]> 2019-02-15 19:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/spochron/d81gsoq2ddsq/wish/331895556 spochron https://padlet.com/spochron/d81gsoq2ddsq/wish/331897431 FreeStyle LibreLink app FDA approved.
