Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and insulin pumps can transform diabetes management, but the technology only works when patients can comfortably keep wearing it. CGM skin irritation can turn a valuable device into a daily source of itching, redness, pain, or damaged skin. In some cases, the reaction becomes severe enough …

Artificial intelligence is entering diabetes care in a surprisingly quiet way. Rather than appearing as a chatbot or separate decision-support tool, increasingly sophisticated algorithms are being built into automated insulin delivery systems. Adaptive insulin pump hardware can work with continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data, recent insulin delivery, and changing glucose …

Many people with type 1 diabetes live with the constant fear of blood glucose dropping too low. Even today’s most advanced automated insulin delivery systems cannot actively raise glucose once levels begin to fall. Instead, they can only reduce or suspend insulin delivery. A dual-hormone artificial pancreas system changes that …

For years, hospital admission often meant disconnecting patients from their personal diabetes devices. Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and insulin pumps were frequently removed, even when patients had used them successfully at home. However, the 2026 American Diabetes Association (ADA) Standards of Care introduce a significant shift in how hospitals approach …

Insulin pumps are an invaluable tool for diabetes management, allowing patients to better regulate their blood glucose levels. While the technology behind insulin pumps is fairly straightforward, optimizing the settings can be a challenge for clinicians. This article will provide a guide for clinicians on how to assess patients for …
