Technology plays a crucial role in many aspects of our lives, including healthcare. Recent advances in digital healthcare have seen the creation of technologies that can improve a person’s quality of life, and even save lives.

We’re taking a look at 4 of the latest diabetes technologies that might make patients’ lives easier.

Insulin Pumps

Insulin pumps are small electronic devices that are able to provide patients with the regular insulin they need throughout the day and night. This device is most suitable for patients with type 1 diabetes and some with type 2 as well.

Blood Glucose Monitors

If patients treat their diabetes with insulin then this monitor can be very handy. It can also prove useful for patients managing their diabetes with other medications such as sulphonylureas. A blood glucose monitor is used to check the patient's blood sugar level. The standard monitor will have a lancet to prick the finger, a digital display and a place to insert the test strip.
