Technology and type 1 diabetes

Hello, I’m Professor Pratik Choudhary. I’m a diabetologist working at King’s College Hospital and in this module, we’ll be talking about the basics of continuous glucose monitoring and how to use it. In particular, we’ll be going through understanding a little bit about how continuous glucose monitoring works, being aware of some of the different systems currently available and an overview of some of the key studies showing the benefits of continuous glucose monitoring. We’ll then move on into slightly more practical discussion about how we set up different continuous glucose monitoring devices and how we can use the extra information these devices provide to help our patients get the most from their diabetes.
