Telemedicine is expanding with applications like remote operations and digital monitoring of chronic diseases, especially beneficial for emergencies and chronically ill patients. As a person with Type 1 Diabetes a Chronic illness, digital Monitering of my Blood Glucose and administred Insulin has become increadibly easier over the years. When I first was Diagnosed, the technolgy that exisisted was sticking your finger and squeezing the blood out to get a one time reading. I would repeat this not only all day long but, my mother woke up 3 times durring the night to monitor my blood glucose my entire Childhood. Now My bloodsugar reads continously on my phone and sends the data directly to her so we can both see my blood sugar and any time durring the day and night. An alarm wakes me up now. All of that data is saved into algorithyms that track the trends over time. This allows me to have a well informed idea of what changes need to made to me insulin regimine. This keeps me healthy while I deal with the stress of Highs and Lows for the rest of my life. I am so grateful for all of the new technology coming out for Type 1 Diabetes, now lets hope it brings us closer to a cure!
