Patients and providers both feel the time crunch when it comes to diabetes care, and that may affect how well they work together to manage diabetes. 

In this episode, our cohosts discuss their experiences with technology and efforts to make communication and self-management more efficient for patients.

Topics include:

• How providers’ time limitations impact patient care 
• Communicating efficiently by text and telemedicine
• Facilitating efficient patient-provider discussions
• Smart pens and data capture technology
• Automated insulin delivery systems

Diabetes Tech-up™ podcast is brought to you by Novo Nordisk.

Tara and Jamie Quinton talk about pencasting, and the Livescribe.  Many of us tried the smartpen a decade ago - but a new version has just been released.  But why use a smartpen?  Why did it fail a decade ago?  Why could it succeed now?

And what is a pencast?  Is this a moment in the history of sonic media?

In this podcast Grant Wilson demonstrates how to record "pencast" movies with the Livescribe Echo Smartpen. Pencast movies can be uploaded to the web and easily displayed in Blackboard.
