fusion-text-2\"><p>In Maine, only 21 endocrinologists are available to serve the 114,000 adults who live with diabetes statewide. As a result, endocrinologists have the capacity to see just 10 percent of the total diabetes population. The vast majority of patients with diabetes therefore receive care through primary care physicians, who would benefit from guidance and advice for supporting and treating patients with devices and on complex treatment regimens.<\/p>\n<p>Sparked by a connection made by MaineHealth CIO <strong>Dan Nigrin, MD<\/strong>, clinical leaders from Maine Medical Partners Endocrinology &amp; Diabetes Center and MaineHealth Innovation collaborated on a grant to address this need in rural Maine. \u00a0In December 2021, <strong>Kiran Gujral, MD<\/strong> and <strong>Irwin Brodsky, MD<\/strong> received a $2.2M from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust to study how making state-of-the-art diabetes management accessible impacts the care of people with diabetes who live in rural regions with a scarcity of endocrinology specialists.<\/p>\n<p>Principal investigators Drs. Brodsky and Gujral and the team outlined a novel clinical intervention using DreaMed Diabetes, an AI technology, for optimizing the care of insulin-requiring diabetic patients in rural communities. The grant, which is for three years, will be used to create The MaineHealth Virtual Diabetes Clinic (MVDC), a collaborative partnership among subspecialists in Endocrinology and Diabetes and primary care clinicians that employs state-of-the-art diabetes management technology. The goal of the MVDC is to establish a novel collaborative clinical model for managing insulin therapy in people with diabetes living in rural communities and to study how continuous glucose monitoring technology and an artificial intelligence driven decision tool (DreaMed Advisor\u00ae) changes clinically relevant diabetes outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-nested-column-0{width:75% !important;}.fusion-builder-nested-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.3066666666667%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.3066666666667%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-nested-column-0{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-nested-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 0.98%;margin-left : 0.98%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-nested-column-0{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-nested-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 0.98%;margin-left : 0.98%;}}<\/style><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column_inner fusion-builder-nested-column-1 fusion_builder_column_inner_1_4 1_4 fusion-flex-column\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div style=\"text-align:center;\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\" style=\"max-width:350px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Kiran Gujral, MD\" title=\"2022 Diabetes Care Kiran Gujral\" src=\"https:\/\/annualreport.mainehealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/2022-Diabetes-Care-Kiran-Gujral.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-4902\" srcset=\"https:\/\/annualreport.mainehealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/2022-Diabetes-Care-Kiran-Gujral-200x267.jpg 200w, https:\/\/annualreport.mainehealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/2022-Diabetes-Care-Kiran-Gujral.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Kiran Gujral, MD <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><div style=\"text-align:center;\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-3 hover-type-none\" style=\"max-width:350px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"469\" height=\"625\" alt=\"Irwin Brodsky, MD\" title=\"2022 Diabetes Care Irwin Brodsky\" src=\"https:\/\/annualreport.mainehealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/2022-Diabetes-Care-Irwin-Brodsky.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-4904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/annualreport.mainehealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/2022-Diabetes-Care-Irwin-Brodsky-200x267.jpg 200w, https:\/\/annualreport.mainehealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/2022-Diabetes-Care-Irwin-Brodsky-400x533.jpg 400w, https:\/\/annualreport.mainehealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/09\/2022-Diabetes-Care-Irwin-Brodsky.jpg 469w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Irwin Brodsky, MD <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-nested-column-1{width:25% !important;margin-bottom : 0px;}.fusion-builder-nested-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 3.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 30px;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-nested-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-nested-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 0.98%;margin-left : 0.98%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-nested-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-nested-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 0.98%;margin-left : 0.98%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\" style=\"margin-top:0px;\"><blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThere are many studies that show the benefit of continuous glucose monitoring data to support care, but few have been done with insulin pump patients and endocrinology specialists.
