What is continuous glucose monitoring?
CGM provides repeated glucose measurements throughout the day and night and can help identify patterns that may not be visible with occasional finger-stick testing.
What is Time in Range?
Time in Range measures the proportion of time glucose remains within a defined target range.
What is an insulin pump?
An insulin pump delivers rapid-acting insulin continuously and can provide additional insulin for meals or correction.
Who may benefit from an insulin pump?
Insulin pumps may be useful for selected people with diabetes, particularly when intensive insulin management or flexibility is needed.
What is automated insulin delivery?
Automated insulin delivery systems combine glucose sensing with insulin delivery algorithms to adjust insulin delivery more dynamically.
Does every person with diabetes need advanced technology?
No. Technology should be selected according to the individual's diabetes type, treatment needs, preferences, ability to use the device and access to appropriate support.
