Abstract:
Objective:To explore the application of flash glucose monitoring (FGM) system in patients with type 2 diabetes and its impact on patients, and to provide reference for improving blood glucose management in patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods:Qualitative research method was adopted. Purposive sampling was used to select patients with type 2 diabetes who received FGM in Nanjing Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing First Hospital from December 2023 to February 2024 as interview subjects. Semi-structured interview method was conducted for one-to-one in-depth interview, and thematic analysis was used to sort out and analyze data, identify and refine themes.Results:A total of 15 interviewees were included, including 7 males and 8 females, aged (61.27 ± 14.07) years. The interview results were summarized into five themes: behavioral changes of wearing FGM system (including changes of patients′blood glucose monitoring, diet, exercise and medication behaviors); FGM system improves the convenience and comfort of blood glucose monitoring; FGM system can effectively improve patients′sense of security; the advice of medical staff affects the willingness of patients to wear FGM system; price factors affect patients′willingness to wear FGM systems on a regular basis.Conclusions:The FGM system plays an important role in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes, improving patients′self-management behavior and blood glucose monitoring experience, and improving patients′sense of security. Medical personnel play an important role in the decision-making of patient disease management. However, price is an important factor restricting patients to wear regularly, and efforts should be made to improve the popularity of FGM system.
