Foreword
It is very fitting that this timely book on diabetes technology should be written by a group of experts from France, since a paper by authors from that country published 44 years ago was highly influential in efforts to improve diabetes management, and in many ways was the beginning of what one might call the ‘modern era’ of technology in diabetes care. In 1974, French colleagues showed that up to 5 days of intravenous infusion of regular insulin from a pump held in a shoulder bag and given at a slow basal rate, augmented at meals, could achieve near-normoglycaemia in a small group of people with type 1 diabetes (Slama G et al. Diabetes. 1974;23:732– 7). For the first time we saw that prolonged infusions of insulin are feasible and produce good glycaemic control without feedback control; and it suggested, at least to some, that portable pumps might be a technology for achieving strict glycaemic control in everyday clinical practice. Building on these ideas over the next couple of years, continuous subcutaneous was substituted for continuous intravenous infusion in order to avoid the potential long-term problems of the intravenous route, the pump became a little smaller and ‘insulin pump therapy
