- •
Overcoming diabetes requires patients to be engaged in the monitoring and management of their own health.
- •
Health information technology (HIT) allows chronically-ill patients to take charge of their healthcare to lead a normal life.
- •
We surveyed 31 patients with diabetes to uncover their frustrations and recommend ways that their healthcare can be improved.
- •
Identified problems include lack of timely communication with healthcare providers and difficulties in scheduling appointments.
- •
The paper's contributions include a set of recommendations on how HIT can be utilized for diabetes care and management.
