Patient Checklist

Initial Assessment

Initial Assessments

Each patient's journey with diabetes technology is unique. Whether you have been newly diagnosed or are currently managing your diabetes, the first question is, do you use insulin to manage your blood sugar (glucose) levels? From there, your health care professional will gather additional important information about:

  • Your diagnosis
  • Other medications you are taking
  • How well your blood sugar levels are managed
  • What types of technology you have used or are now using

To determine the right diabetes technology for you, your health care professional will also ask about your lifestyle, comfort level with technology, access to healthcare coverage, and more.
