Gain a perspective on hypoglycemia with the Hypoglycemia Virtual Experience app. The Hypoglycemia Virtual Experience app is a simulation of selected hypoglycemic symptoms and is intended for health care professionals (HCPs) only. This simulation is intended only to provide an example of what a patient with type 2 diabetes may experience during a hypoglycemic episode. Some patients who experience hypoglycemia may not experience any symptoms at all, whereas others may experience multiple symptoms.
The app provides a unique opportunity to use technology native within the iPad to engage HCPs in learning more about hypoglycemia in type 2 diabetes. Three common mild-to-moderate hypoglycemic symptoms can be experienced with the app—confusion, blurred vision, and dizziness.
The Hypoglycemia Virtual Experience includes:
• Three virtual experiences that mimic an everyday task (eg, writing an e-mail) that may be interrupted by symptoms of hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes
• Thought-provoking and up-to-date facts and statistics about hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes
• Quiz questions that aim to further engage and empower HCPs with more knowledge about hypoglycemia
This Mobile application is intended for health care professionals in the United States, its territories, and Puerto Rico only. If you are a patient, speak to your health care professional.
