Experiences of Adults With Type 1 Diabetes Using Digital Health Technology for Diabetes Self-Care: Qualitative Study

This study sheds light on both positive and negative experiences of using DHTs for diabetes self-care in a real-life setting. The exasperating experiences may widen the digital health inequities and therefore are important to address. Improving technological literacy and ongoing support from health care or device manufacturers may help users to address exasperating experiences. Further studies are needed to validate our findings.
