Preface
Technology is nowadays an integrated part of day-to-day diabetes management, and an increasing number of patients are currently using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices and smart insulin pumps. Over the last few decades, significant progress has been achieved in terms of systems’ performance and convenience of use. Manufacturers are continuing to update existing technologies so that new devices are regularly becoming available on the market. Both patients and healthcare professionals must therefore keep up-to-date with these technological advances to provide the best care. The suboptimal performance of the first CGM devices has initially been seen as the weakest link in the development of closed loop systems, but the latest CGM models have improved and reached sufficient accuracy to allow the development of semi-intelligent insulin pumps. Children’s diabetes care has specific challenges including greater glucose variabil
