AI Article Synopsis
- Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are effective in improving health outcomes and quality of life for individuals with diabetes, but sustaining their use presents challenges.
- Research has mostly focused on how to start using CGMs rather than maintaining them over time, highlighting a gap in understanding the reasons behind their continued use.
- The Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model is proposed as a framework to better understand CGM use, suggesting that individual goals for using CGMs should guide education and support for optimal management.
Article Abstract
Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) improve glycemic outcomes and quality of life for many people with diabetes. Research and clinical practice efforts have focused on CGM initiation and uptake. There is limited understanding of how to sustain CGM use to realize these benefits and limited consideration for different reasons/goals for CGM use. Therefore, we apply the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model as an organizing framework to advance understanding of CGM use as a complex, ongoing self-management behavior. We present a person-centered, dynamic perspective with the central thesis that IMB predictors of optimal CGM use vary based on the CGM use goal of the person with diabetes. This reframe emphasizes the importance of identifying and articulating each person's goal for CGM use to inform education and support.
