Abstract：
Health technologies to monitor glucose values are an important part of daily diabetes self-care. Based on 12 months of fieldwork in Denmark with 14 people with type 2 diabetes, I explore people\'s experience of living with Continuous Glucose Monitoring. This new technology automatically measures glucose levels throughout the day but is not yet common in type 2 diabetes treatment in Denmark. In this article, I capture the social shaping of Continuous Glucose Monitoring, employing the concept of time. I show how adoption of the technology is embedded in a form of biographical time. This refers to people\'s use of the technology linked to their stories about themselves. Drawing on a notion of habitus, people\'s embodied past experiences and future prospects come to shape its use, I propose. My main claim is that while people with diabetes implement the technology into their lives in unique ways, adapting it to their circumstances and social conditions, practice of Continuous Glucose Monitoring reproduce social structures. This is evinced, I argue, in people\'s tinkering with the technology and the frames of reference used to inform it. I introduce the term \"tinkering in time\", highlighting the introduction of new health technology within the frame of lived human time.
摘要：
监测血糖值的健康技术是日常糖尿病自我护理的重要组成部分。根据丹麦12个月的实地调查，14名2型糖尿病患者，我探索人们的生活与连续葡萄糖监测的经验。这项新技术可自动测量全天的血糖水平，但在丹麦的2型糖尿病治疗中还不常见。在这篇文章中,我捕捉到了连续葡萄糖监测的社会塑造，运用时间的概念。我展示了该技术的采用是如何以传记时间的形式嵌入的。这是指人们使用与他们自己的故事相关的技术。借鉴习惯的概念，人们所体现的过去的经验和未来的前景来塑造它的用途，我提议.我的主要主张是，尽管糖尿病患者以独特的方式将技术应用到他们的生活中，适应他们的环境和社会条件，连续葡萄糖监测的实践再现了社会结构。这是显而易见的，我争辩说，在人们修补技术和用来告知它的参考框架中。我介绍了“及时修补”一词，强调在人类生活时间的框架内引入新的健康技术。
