数字健康技术正越来越多地被用于糖尿病的现代管理。这些工具包括连续血糖监测系统、联网血糖监测设备、混合闭环系统、智能胰岛素笔、远程医疗和智能手机应用程序(APP)。尽管这些技术中的许多都有坚实的证据基础，但从糖尿病患者的角度来看，仍然存在多个障碍，阻碍了它们的最佳使用，造成了数字鸿沟。在这篇文章中，我们描述了这些障碍的许多根源，并就扩大服务不足的糖尿病患者获得数字健康技术的机会以改善他们的健康结果提出了建议。
Digital health technologies are being utilized increasingly in the modern management of diabetes. These include tools such as continuous glucose monitoring systems, connected blood glucose monitoring devices, hybrid closed‐loop systems, smart insulin pens, telehealth, and smartphone applications (apps). Although many of these technologies have a solid evidence base, from the perspective of a person living with diabetes, there remain multiple barriers preventing their optimal use, creating a digital divide. In this article, we describe many of the origins of these barriers and offer recommendations on widening access to digital health technologies for underserved populations living with diabetes to improve their health outcomes.
