DEVICE

Continuous glucose glucose sensor- physician ordered

Charts will be reviewed to identify recipients of Missouri Medicaid who receive daily injections to manage their diabetes. Children who have submitted an application for the Medtronic MiniMed insulin pump will be identified by the PI and Medtronic Diabetes. They will be asked to wear a 72 hour continuous glucose monitor. The children who wear the sensor will be asked to keep a daily logbook of their blood sugars, activities, food intake, and insulin doses during this 72 hour period. The families of the children will be provided with a pre-addressed FedEx envelope for them to return the digital recorder and daily logbooks to the PI. The results of the glucose sensor will be downloaded by the PI. The families will be contacted by the PI with the results and treatment recommendations.
