  Do you keep track of where you rotate your CGM site?
  No need to track it’s pretty obvious. Switch sides each time and try to miss any visible puncture spots

  When you have low blood glucose, how anxious do you generally feel?
  It really depends on when I catch it and how low it is. If I see it early enough I treat it and just watch it to make sure it is recovering.

  Very anxious when it is really low, but not anxious at all when it is just mildly low.

  My anxiety kicks in a bit when low treatments seem to take forever to have an impact.

  It depends on how fast it is dropping and how quickly it responds to my attempts to raise it back to normal.

  It all depends on how low, where I am and what I'm doing and if I can easily eat/drink fast acting carbs to treat it. I only get anxious if it's taking a long time to bring bg level up to my target of 110 and I'm out in public.

  Depends on how low and what I am doing. Like today I had one at work where Dexcom said low but because I could treat and had two people with them, aware of it, I was okay.

  Depends on how low and for how long. Generally not anxious as much as sweating and foggy headed.

  I usually get more annoyed than anxious...It typically happens when I'm in the middle of working! I work as a private clarinet instructor so it's just me and the student and it's really difficult to string words together when I'm low.

  I don’t feel anxious when my blood sugar goes low but when it goes high, I get very worried.

Walking the Talk—Improving Use of the T1D Exchange Quality Improvement Portal Using QI Methodology

T1D Exchange, 1 year ago 0 1 min read

Mungmode, Elisha, V, Fogel, N, Kiesow, B, O’Malley, G, Clements, M, Scott, M, Indyk, J, Gallagher, M.P, Gandhi, K, Ebekozien, O.

Background: The T1D Exchange QI Collaborative (T1DX-QI) is a network of over fifty endocrinology centers improving type 1 diabetes (T1D) care using QI. Participating centers have access to the QI Portal, an EMR-based data platform to chart and benchmark T1D outcomes. It is a valuable tool for population health and supports use of data to inform clinical QI projects. We aim to demonstrate the use of QI science to increase centers’ QI Portal use.

Methods: Users are classified into Tiers based on their cumulative monthly QI Portal log-ins (Tier 1 = one month or never; Tier 2 = 2 or 3 months total; Tier 3 = 4 or more months total). This measure describes regularly (monthly) use. For this analysis, new users (user accounts younger than 3 months) are not included to establish true use.

Results: The QI Portal has achieved consistent user growth through this project. As users transition from Tier 1 to Tier 3, the latter tiers expand as users consistently use the QI Portal, with a 12% increase in more experienced Tiers (Tiers 2 and 3; Figure 1a). Figure 1b depicts a ~48% increase in the percentage of Tier 3 users since the project started in July 2022 and annotates four Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles.
