Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 Got this from another list Researchers - with time on their hands LOL - have found that patients required " 202 minutes (three hours and 22 minutes). Of that time, 96 minutes were needed for home glucose monitoring, record keeping, medication management, oral care, foot care, problem solving, and exercise. Another 106 minutes per day would be taken up with meal planning, shopping and preparation. " er They said those using insulin would spend longer. http://www.diabetesincontrol.com/modules.php?name=News <http://www.diabetesincontrol.com/modules.php?name=News & file=article & sid=382 6> & file=article & sid=3826 So - how much time do you spend each day? 1 Home glucose monitoring 2 Record keeping 3 Medication management 4 Oral care 5 Foot care 6 Problem solving 7 Exercise and - just cos we're here online 8 Reading/writing DM emails 9 Reading other articles and 10 Talking to members of your team - per month. You might like to take a day or 2 to work out just how much time you spend on your self management. Bea Quote
