Are we becoming robots? #AID systems for everyone with #T1D:
Thanks Moshe Phillip for reminding that #diabetes is a challenge for #PwD 🙏
We only spend 0.02% of our time with a #HCP. We manage our condition on our own.
Are we becoming robots? #AID systems for everyone with #T1D:
So are we becoming robots?
We operate our robot parts. They help us achieve our goals, have a better #QoL, and reduce complications. They assist #PwD 👇
Betting for the next best thing in digital #diabetes technology:
'In addition to the challenges of getting hybrid #AID systems, they still require setups. They still require the user to #carbcount for meals & initiate correction boluses.'
-Steven Russell
Dedoc° symposium, What we wish you knew and why:
'It's the 1st ever #dedoc° symposium at #EASD2022'. This is what I had in mind 10y ago - a panel of advocates at the world largest #diabetes conference.'
2/ La plupart des personnes qui vivent avec une maladie chronique sont conscientes d’être plus à risque en cas de contamination #COVID. Celles qui vivent avec un #diabete#DT1#DT2 ou autre, savent aussi qu’une infection, quelle qu'elle soit, peut provoquer une certaine
3/ résistance à l’insuline qui augmente la glycémie, accroit les besoins en #insuline, et peut parfois engendrer une complication potentiellement fatale, le coma acidocétosique. C’est particulièrement vrai en cas de contamination par le #COVID19.
[#thread] Déception à la lecture de la newsletter du @CeeD_Diabete qui paraphrase l’ANSM sur les #BouclesFermées DIY. Avec +5 ans d’expérience utilisateurs les développeurs du #DIY ont ouvert la voie aux boucles commerciales 🚀
Les #BouclesFermées commerciales ne sont pas encore disponibles en France, et le seront à un public restreint. Elles le sont depuis 2 ans dans d’autres pays. Les #DT1 ne peuvent plus attendre et construisent leur propre boucle avec du matériel marqué CE.
#ControlIQ Tandem T:slim #closedloop's aim at improving #TIR. To activate Control IQ, are required:
▶️ current weight
▶️ total daily #Insulin
▶️ carb ratio
▶️ ISF
▶️ correction factors
▶️ meal bolus still required
36 wk-trial #ControlIQ in teens and adults in 2019:
▶️ #TIR +11% from 61 to 71%
▶️ major #BG improvement at night 2 to 8am
▶️ average #A1c 7% (#PwD witth A1c >6.5% improved too)
▶️ less #hypos
- Dr Marc Breton, University of Virginia
#ControlIQ in real life for 6086 users, average age 42yo, for 6 months:
▶️ #TIR 74.9% for 180 days
▶️ consistent improvement in #BG control
- Dr Marc Breton, University of Virginia
The implication of the wider spread of #DIYAPS on out-of-pocket expenses for people with #T1D- Timothée Froment on the conomic burden associated with #diabetes technologies
The amount of out-of-pocket expenses for people with #T1D depends on the limited health coverage of #diabetes technologies & supplies in most countries
- Timothée Froment
Strong link between health coverage and out of pocket #diabetes expenses. The monthly average cost is:
▶️ $39 in Germany
▶️ $502 in the US
