DigiBete's Technology Survey

The DigiBete Survey covers various aspects of diabetes management and education including the use of:
1. Diabetes Management Methods.
The survey inquires about how individuals manage diabetes, including options like CGM, CGM with connected insulin pumps, CGM with multiple daily injections, and SMBG with multiple daily injections.
2. CGM and Pump Preferences.
Questions are asked about the types of diabetes technology currently in use, previous CGM and pump usage, and factors considered when choosing a system, such as recommendations from diabetes teams, personal research, compatibility, clinical evidence, and recommendations from various sources.
3. Support and Training.
The survey also addresses experiences with switching diabetes tech brands, the impact on mental health, training received, and whether individuals feel they have adequate support and information to discuss technology options with their diabetes team or from DigiBete's digital resources.
