A patient-centered approach to device design can provide important advantages in optimizing diabetes care technology for broadened adoption and improved adherence. Results from two surveys of people with diabetes and the parents of children with diabetes ( = 1,348) regarding continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices reveal the importance of the concept of "user burden" in patients' and caregivers' evaluations of the acceptability of available devices. Survey respondents' strongly favorable reactions to a proposed 1-year, fully implanted CGM device with no skin-attached components further confirm that minimizing system obtrusiveness will likely be of significant value in reducing hurdles to CGM device use and adherence.
以患者为中心的设备设计方法在优化糖尿病护理技术以实现更广泛应用和提高依从性方面具有重要优势。两项针对糖尿病患者及糖尿病儿童家长（共1348人）进行的关于持续葡萄糖监测（CGM）设备的调查结果显示，“用户负担”这一概念在患者和护理人员对现有设备可接受性的评估中非常重要。调查受访者对一款提议的无皮肤附着组件的1年期完全植入式CGM设备反应强烈积极，这进一步证实，将系统的干扰性降至最低对于减少CGM设备使用和依从性的障碍可能具有重要价值。
