Blood sugar monitoring devices pose wearability and use problems for older adults with diabetes and caregivers

Study participants found the glucose monitors and other wearable devices tricky to use, suggesting a need for device manufacturers to improve wearability and usability of the devices.
Study participants were very interested in understanding their numbers (such as glucose levels) and the implications of these numbers.
Nearly three-quarters of the study participants had low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), suggesting the need for monitoring devices to lead to more direct and effective management of blood sugar among older adults.
