3. Technology

Technology in diabetes care has taken huge leaps forward in recent years, from insulin pumps to continuous glucose monitors. But many people living with diabetes are not able to access technology or choose not to.


In this episode, Jack Woodfield from Diabetes UK is joined by Georgia Weston, Sam Dottin and Dr Waqas Tahir to explore the world of diabetes tech.


Georgia is a medical student, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes aged 26. She shares her experiences with technology and why her view on tech has changed over time.


Sam works here at Diabetes UK and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes aged 41. She discusses how it was a chance diagnosis which left her looking for as much information as possible about how tech could help her manage her blood sugar levels.


Dr Tahir is a GP and diabetes clinical lead in Yorkshire and talks about the range of tech on offer for people living with diabetes and how he’s still on a learning curve when it comes to tech.
