Abstract

6 voices in 10 minutes: Problems of glycemic control in children and adolescents

When technology fails

According to the Exchange, the use of technology has increased, the percentage of patients who achieve the target HbA1c in those under 18 years of age is 17% and there is an increase over time in HbA1c mainly in adolescents and young people. When does technology failure occur? There are psychosocial, socioeconomic, patient and family, and doctor barriers. What do we do? Work as an interdisciplinary team incorporating the patient and the family, where the three most important pillars are structured education, motivation and adherence, always considering that the objective of glycemic control must be individualized and with the technology acceptance model.
