RD is 82 years old, on basal insulin with bolus insulin at breakfast and dinner if need. RD just started using a sensor to track their daily blood sugars. After using the sensor for a few weeks, they share that they are feeling anxious and don’t know what to do with all this information. They even took extra bolus insulin yesterday to try and get blood sugars down. RD’s time in range is over 70%.
Which of the following is the most appropriate intervention?
- Refer RD to a mental health provider who specializes in diabetes.
- Reassure RD that their time is range is on target and they are not at risk of complications.
- Suggest that RD stops using a sensor and resumes using a glucose meter.
- Explore feelings of anxiety associated with the data and glucose levels.

ReVive 5 Diabetes Training Program:
The 2024 ADA Standards of Care now recommends annual screening for diabetes distress. If you are wondering how to screen for distress and tailor education based on the results, we encourage you to join this unique training program.
This two-session training provides the essential steps to address diabetes distress combined with an innovative approach to helping people make sense of their glucose data.
The first session is team-taught by experts in the field of diabetes distress and effective communication approaches. Dr. Larry Fisher kicks off the program by describing the difference between depression and distress and interpreting Diabetes Distress screening results. Dr. Susan Guzman uses a case study approach and step-by-step communication strategies to address responses from the Diabetes Distress screening tool. This session includes an abundance of evidence-based approaches that you can apply in your clinical setting.
Coach Beverly leads the second session. During this three-hour program, Beverly describes insulin dosing strategies, meter and sensor data interpretation, and common issues encountered by people using diabetes technology. Case studies include tools to help individuals discover what changes are needed to get glucose to target, coupled with the communication skills discussed in the first session. In conclusion, the team of instructors review a case study that pulls together all the ReVive 5 elements.
“ReVive 5” breathes new life into our relationship with diabetes, bringing a fresh perspective to both the person with diabetes and the provider.
