How Much Training Is Required to Use the CareSimple Remote Glucometer?

Although we recommend patients read through the user guide provided, the devices work like a standard glucose monitor that can be purchased in a pharmacy. The CareSimple device has a single-button design, standard form factor, and doesn’t require any setup and pairing. The perfect solution for continuous glucose monitoring.

How Does CareSimple’s Glucometer Differ from Other Bluetooth Devices?

Bluetooth devices need to be paired with an app, tablet or hub in order to transmit readings. CareSimple’s cellular RPM devices have a built-in SIM card and antenna, using cellular networks to securely transmit readings to the cloud and eliminating the technical pitfalls of BTLE/hub-based systems. For patients, including those with diabetes type 1, diabetes type 2, or gestational diabetes, the result is an experience as simple as using the glucose monitor with nothing more required than taking readings daily or as needed. From there, the data is shared with their provider in near real-time so changes in blood sugar levels can be monitored and flagged and insulin doses can be adjusted as needed.

What Makes the CareSimple Blood Glucose Meter Different from Other Glucose Monitoring Devices?

CareSimple was launched with the goal of making RPM simple enough for any patient regardless of age, condition or socioeconomic status, removing many of the technological challenges that can be associated with remote glucose monitoring. The RPM program wirelessly sends data from a patient’s glucose monitoring device directly to their health file for virtual review and monitoring by their physician. With that data, their care team can then remotely check on their condition and make decisions on how to provide the best care for them.

How Much Does the CareSimple Remote Glucose Monitoring Solution Cost?

The CareSimple Remote Glucometer is offered as part of our RPM packages and can be purchased upfront or bundled into the RPM service. Contact sales@caresimple.com for a quote. Discover the perfect glucose meter solution.

CGM Telehealth TechnologyDexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring

The CareSimple platform is fully compatible with Dexcom’s continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system, which is widely recognized as one of the best on the market for near real-time blood sugar level tracking. This integration enables fast and easy monitoring of a patient’s blood sugar levels throughout the day, thanks to the most advanced remote patient monitoring (RPM) technology available. The readings collected by the Dexcom CGM sensor are automatically synchronized with both the CareSimple clinical portal and your EHR, so you can easily track and manage your patients’ glucose levels.

With built-in CGM compatibility, you don’t need to provide new equipment or extensive training to start monitoring your patients’ blood sugar variations. Instead, simply send your patients an SMS invitation link to authorize the CareSimple/Dexcom connectivity. The Dexcom G6 CGM device continuously reads and transmits real-time glucose data to a compatible mobile device, providing up-to-the-minute glucose readings even while you sleep.

This glucose monitoring system is particularly useful for patients with diabetes, including type 2 diabetes. By using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), patients can make more informed treatment decisions and adjust their insulin pump or other diabetes care as needed. In addition, many insurance providers offer coverage for CGM systems like the Dexcom G6, making it an accessible option for more patients than ever before.

^*CareSimple integrates with more than 85 EHRs including Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen and AllScripts.

How Much Training Is Required to Use Dexcom (CGM) Sensor?

We recommend patients to read through the user guide provided before using the CGM sensor. However, once applied and given the authorization to transmit data to CareSimple the sensor continuously measures glucose levels and transmits data to your provider without any user intervention.

How Do CGM Sensors Differ from Other BGM Devices?

Regular BGM devices provide a snapshot of blood sugar levels at a single point in time. Users must manually obtain a blood sample and measure it with the device as often as recommended by their healthcare provider. CGM sensor, however, continuously measure glucose levels throughout the day and night, typically providing readings every 5 minutes. CGM sensors have a built-in transmitter that sends near real-time data stream of glucose data.

What Makes the CareSimple CGM Different from Other Offerings?

With an added CareSimple connectivity, it allows healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients’ glucose levels in near real-time and provide personalized care and treatment plans based on patients’ individual glucose patterns and needs.
