Managing bolus insulin dosing is challenging for people with diabetes. Using digital health to connect real-time CGM with insulin dosing and provide self-management support has the potential to impact the ADCES7 Self-Management Behaviors (TM). We have previously shown that a CGM-enabled digital health investigational device that supports insulin dosing by accounting for food, activity, and CGM trend arrows is associated with improved time in range and reduction in diabetes distress. In this analysis, we explore the mechanisms for the reduction in diabetes distress.
