Diabetes Technology: Science and Practice

We live in a century of technological revolution. 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 or her healthcare provider, have changed the landscape of diabetes therapy forever.

However, diabetes technology is progressing faster than healthcare professionals can incorporate these advances into their practices. To bridge this gap, Diabetes Technology provides an historical overview of diabetes technology, addresses the clinical science of new and advancing technologies, and illustrates the use of diabetes technology in different treatment settings. This guide also explores the personal stories of healthcare providers who treat their own diabetes with modern diabetes technology.
