Tracking Home Blood Glucose Through Mychart, Zachary T. Osborn

Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects

Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is a crucial tool in the management of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics on insulin, and for Type 2 Diabetics who are titrating medications and/or undergoing lifestyle changes. Patients often fail to bring in their SMBG readings (or monitor at all) for a variety of reasons, hindering efforts to adjust their therapy. This project sought to address this gap through educating patients and providers about the EPICs ability to track SMBG readings submitted through MyChart.
