Self-care of insulin-tretated diabetes has in recent years become considerably more technical. Continuous glucose sensoring, measuring the glucose level of tissue fluid, has become an important tool for the management of glucose values in the everyday life of the diabetic patient. Detailed guidance to the use of the devices is essential in their utilization. The first glucose sensor requiring no calibration though the measurement of blood glucose level has also entered the market. Numerous smartphone applications for self-monitoring have emerged, and cloud services are being increasingly used for mediating data between the patient and the health facility. The Nightscout system makes remote monitoring of diabetic patients possible with a smart device.
