Abstract/Executive Summary
Diabetes mellitus continues to challenge global health due to its rising prevalence and long-term complications, requiring consistent self-management. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices provide real-time glycemic insights, yet their effectiveness in supporting patient safety depends on usability and user experience. This quantitative moderated correlational study investigates the relationship between usability and safety outcomes of CGM devices among diabetic patients and examines whether user experience duration moderates this relationship. A total of thirty-two (32) Type 1 and Type 2 diabetic patients aged 20-79 in Metro Manila, using CGM devices for at least one month, completed validated questionnaires assessing user experience duration and their perceptions of device usability and safety outcomes. Data was analyzed using Spearman’s correlation and regression to examine the relationship between usability and safety outcomes, while moderation and simple slope analysis were conducted to assess whether this relationship varies across levels of user experience duration. Findings revealed that respondents generally perceived CGM devices as both usable and safe. Moderation analyses showed no significant effects for either frequency of interaction or duration in years. Simple slope analyses indicated that usability consistently predicts safety outcomes across all levels of interaction and duration. Overall, findings indicate that usability of CGM devices plays a crucial role in ensuring patient safety, regardless of how long or how frequently patients have used the device. Furthermore, future research could explore broader populations, focus on affordable and specific brands of CGM devices, or examine additional factors that may influence safety outcomes to strengthen understanding of effective utilization.
