Minor update

Life's been fairly busy. It seems like it's been like that for a lot of us recently.

I'm happy to say that a paper of mine has been published in the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology. It's about the need to standardize:
  • How blood sugar data is represented by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices
  • How data is retrieved from CGM devices, and
  • The physical interface for data retrieval from CGM devices.

You can read the abstract as a PDF.

I do hope that my proposal will be seriously considered by device manufacturers. I'll let you know if I learn more.

Congratulations on your article being published. It would be nice if the diabetes industry agreed to standards -- I think Pfizer is learning the hard way that the decision to abandon the standard of measure in favor of mg is costing them, as doctors don't want the added hassle of converting an Rx to a new measurement, so their most potent salesforce is hedging. Maybe the continuous monitoring market will decide to agree rather than squabbling -- the market is big enough for everyone at this point, but not with 20 different standards!

minor update?

You're so modest.

Way to go!
I'll look forward to reading the article, but I certainly agree about the need for standardization in how data are handled.

Congrats again!
