Ecological Momentary Assessment of Person-Reported Outcomes in Diabetes: Unlocking Insights with Continuous Glucose Monitoring and the Potential for Precision Medicine

Diabetes self-management is accompanied by time-varying emotional and motivational challenges that impact mental health. These day-to-day fluctuations can be assessed via ecological momentary assessment (EMA), that allows the repeated sampling of psychosocial variables in everyday life. The benefits of EMA over questionnaires mirror the benefits of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) over HbA1c. We describe the insights generated by combining EMA and CGM and highlight its potential.
