We live in a century of technological revolution and the birth of
artificial intelligence. Like every other sphere of our life,
diabetes-related technology is moving forward with lightning speed. New
and improved insulin administration devices, increased capacity for
monitoring one's blood glucose levels, and the ability to communicate
directly with the device supplying insulin as well as with the patient
and his/her healthcare provider have changed diabetes therapy forever.
The problem is that diabetes-related technology is moving ahead much
faster than physicians and other healthcare professionals can
incorporate these advances into our practices. Diabetes Technology will
consist of three parts: Part I addresses the clinical science of
diabetes pumps, continuous glucose monitoring and communication
technology with numerous practical aspects. Part III offers personal
stories of healthcare providers who treat their own diabetes with modern
diabetes technology. In particular, they will address how and why they
decided to use this technology and the positive and negative aspects of
their decision.
