Die Schweizerische Diabetes-Stiftung (SDS) stellt den Diabetes-Pass neu als kostenlose App zur Verfügung. Sie müssen kein Heft mehr mit sich führen, um ihren Diabetes optimal zu managen. Die App ist in Deutsch, Französisch und Italienisch erhältlich. Wie ist die App «Diabetes-Pass» aufgebaut? In einem ersten Teil können Sie persönliche Daten eintragen wie die Angaben zum behandelnden Arzt, wer in Notfällen zu informieren und wo eine allfällige Patientenverfügung hinterlegt ist. In einer Liste können verschriebene und selbstgekaufte Medikamente aufgeführt und Unverträglichkeiten festgehalten werden. In einem zweiten Teil werden die jährlichen Kontrollen und deren Ergebnisse erfasst. So werden auch die wichtigen Termine im Kalender vermerkt und erlauben den Eintrag des HbA1c-Wertes, des Körpergewichts, des Blutdrucks und schwerer Hypoglykämien. Was bietet die App weiter? Im Diabetes-Pass finden Sie Informationen zu den Themen Autofahren, zur Augenkontrolle, zur Insulintherapie, zur Diabetes-Schulung sowie die Möglichkeit, eine ärztliche Bescheinigung für Diabetes-Betroffene auf Flugreisen zu hinterlegen. Ausserdem kann ein Notfallausweis als Sperrbildschirm definiert werden. Die erfassten Angaben und Werte können bequem auch via Email verschickt werden. Der Diabetes-Pass hilft Betroffenen somit bei der Selbstkontrolle ihres Diabetes.
