Margot Vanfleteren discusses the value of patient blogs for diabetes care and management. She notes that patients spend 99.993% of their time managing their diabetes alone, with only 0.007% spent with healthcare providers. Patient blogs can help address quality of life issues like adherence, access to support, and self-management by providing a platform for psycho-social support and involvement in care. Blogs also give insights into patient needs and experiences that can help healthcare providers, the pharmaceutical industry, and researchers better understand barriers to person-centered care and identify opportunities for innovation.
