My son is 17 with Type 1. He currently has a Medtronic Pump 640g. We are trying to research all the CGM options but feeling a bit overwhelmed and confused! We have looked on line at Freestyle Libre, DexCom and now the Guardian sensor that’s works with Metronic. We are not certain of any NHS...

Given technology enhancements are proceeding apace should we develop units which better inform the user of the system and indeed clinicians. Rather than merely reporting the % on target or the % off target, should the systems not seek to quantify the extent to which you have been above target...

Continuous glucose monitors (CGM) offer significant, daily benefits to people with type 1 diabetes, providing near-real time measurements of blood sugar levels, but they can be expensive. A new study by researchers from the University of Chicago Medicine, based on a 6-month clinical trial, finds...

Abstract: Two types of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems are currently available for daily diabetes self-management: real-time CGM and intermittently scanned CGM. Both approaches provide continuous measurement of glucose concentrations in the interstitial fluid; however, each has its...

A new CGM that just was approved for use in Europe, called sugarBEAT, from Nemaura Medical, in the United Kingdom, was designed only after “multiple focus group studies and feedback from clinical studies” were taken into account, according to Bashir Timol, Director of Strategy and Corporate...

For about a month, Tabb Firchau, an entrepreneur living in Seattle, has been wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), a federally approved medical device that tracks blood sugar levels for people with diabetes. The CGM patch has a small needle that probes the inside of his arm, and a sensor...

Hi all, I've moved from the outskirts of London into Central London. I haven't seen a specialist in two years and want to get back in the system. I'm interested specifically in CGMs and weight loss as well as possibly switching to pump therapy. I was looking for hospital and doctor...

24th January 2017 – Many patients with type 1 diabetes who use a device that continuously monitors their glucose (sugar) levels have better control over their condition than those who test manually, two studies have shown. Diabetes experts are welcoming the findings, but say more research is...

The Federal Government has announced it will fund a $54 million subsidy for glucose testing technology to help young people with type 1 diabetes if re-elected. Key points: CGM devices track glucose levels, sound an alarm if too high or low The proposed funding would subsidise devices for up to...
