VG: Hello and welcome to the Diabetes Therapy podcast. Today we are speaking to Dr. Sufyan Hussain, consultant physician in diabetes and endocrinology and honorary senior clinical lecturer at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and Kings College London. Today Sufyan will be speaking with Tim Street who is the director of Diabettech. SH: Thank you for joining us, Tim. I know it is a busy time. I note that you are in the Financial Times today actually commenting on lots of diabetes technology related things. Tim Street as mentioned is the director of Diabettech and I am sure he will tell us a bit more about this. I personally came across Tim many years back actually at a meeting related to type 1 Digital Features To view digital features for this article go to https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.12459692.

This was my introduction to Tim and over the years I have got to know him more and we’re doing a lot of work on similar themes and we have spent some time recently at the ATTD [Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes] conference which was great, and hence we have him here to tell us about the highlights of the ATTD conference. So, a bit about Tim. He is obviously the director of Diabettech, which he will tell you about, but in addition to this, he does a lot of advocative work in relation to diabetes technology. He is an excellent advocate for type 1 diabetes technology; he is a person with diabetes and was an engineer in a former life. He is well regarded as one of the leading authorities for the ‘Do it yourself’ artificial pancreas systems as well so lots of boxes to tick. So, Tim, how are you? TS: I am good thank you, Sufyan. SH: Let’s start with a little bit about yourself. You are doing a lot of great work with your website. Would you like to tell the listeners about what you’re doing? TS: Yes, I write diabettech.com which is a website that is about diabetes technology and treatments and looks at upcoming treatments and upcoming technologies and also a lot in the ‘DIY’ space. I try to undertake any observational studies on myself looking at various aspects of
