In this article, we will explore the essential steps and tips for effectively utilizing the Trividia remote patient monitoring glucometer, empowering individuals with diabetes to take charge of their health and live their best lives.
How Remote Patient Monitoring Helps Manage Diabetes
Diabetes has reached alarming proportions in the U.S., affecting over 38 million individuals, with a staggering 1 in 5 unaware of their condition. Even more concerning is the prevalence of prediabetes, a precursor to full-blown diabetes. Prediabetes afflicts 96 million US adults, and a vast majority remain undiagnosed. Furthermore, diabetes ranks the eighth leading cause of death in the U.S.
Notably, the last two decades have witnessed a distressing trend, with the number of adults diagnosed with diabetes more than doubling. This escalating crisis underscores the urgent need for effective diabetes management strategies and solutions. An RPM glucose meter is one telemedicine solution to help patients and physicians manage diabetes. With remote glucose monitoring, physicians can identify complications early and provide prompt treatment in-between visits. The Trividia Blood Glucose Meter offers one-step, seamless recording when bG is checked.

For example, an LED ring on the Gateway turns green to confirm the measurement is successfully transmitted.
The Trvidia Blood Glucose Meter automatically transmits data wirelessly to the Tenovi cloud.
