- [Blog Posts](https://www.diabettech.com/blog-posts/) - All the posts, updated as they are written!
- [Why is the cheese sandwich the downfall of AI carb counting, even with "3D scanning"?](https://www.diabettech.com/why-is-the-cheese-sandwich-the-downfall-of-ai-carb-counting/) - A slightly rhetorical question, I'll admit, but a pertinent one. Once again, I have been trying out the latest (read most heavily pushed on Facebook Diabetes groups by its founder, to the extent that using your mum as an advocate - or your mum's account - is really taking it a little too far) app
- [The Libre Duo. A platform prototype to move care from the hospital to the home?](https://www.diabettech.com/the-libre-duo-a-platform-to-move-care-from-the-hospital-to-the-home/) - Abbott has put glucose and ketones on the same wearable, and the launch coverage is all about DKA. Worth having if you’re on a pump, which is fine as far as it goes, but it misses the bit that makes this interesting. Because if you look at what Abbott has actually built across its other divisions, and what they’ve patented alongside it, the Libre Duo doesn’t really look like a ketone sensor. It looks like the platform prototype and the first visible piece of an infrastructure designed to move chronic disease care out of outpatients and into the home. And the policy environment for that shift has just been locked in on both sides of the Atlantic for the next five years.
- [Five AI models, three users, one finding: the settings came from the textbook, not the data](https://www.diabettech.com/five-ai-models-three-users-one-finding-the-settings-came-from-the-textbook-not-the-data/) - We took Nightscout data from three people and gave it to 5 Large Language Models with a detailed prompt to see how they would respond. The results weren't what I was expecting.
- [I Asked AI to Count My Carbs 27,000 Times. It Couldn’t Give Me the Same Answer Twice.](https://www.diabettech.com/i-asked-ai-to-count-my-carbs-27000-times-it-couldnt-give-me-the-same-answer-twice/) - Ask ChatGPT to estimate the carbs in your lunch. Now ask it again. And again. Five hundred times. You’d expect the same answer each time. It’s the same photo, the same model, the same question. But you won’t get the same answer. Not even close — and the differences are large enough to cause a
- [The Daily Bolus: The Triple Agonist Showdown & Surprising GLP-1 Wins in Type 1 Diabetes](https://www.diabettech.com/the-daily-bolus-the-triple-agonist-showdown-surprising-glp-1-wins-in-type-1-diabetes/) - Welcome to today's edition of The Daily Bolus! The incretin landscape is rapidly evolving into the era of the "triple agonist," with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk going head-to-head to push weight loss and A1C reduction to new extremes.

- [The Daily Bolus: Red Cell Sponges, Microbiome Signatures, and Cyborg Cells](https://www.diabettech.com/the-daily-bolus-red-cell-sponges-microbiome-signatures-and-cyborg-cells/) - Today’s research is moving beyond the traditional "big three" of glucose disposal—liver, muscle, and fat. We explore how red blood cells can be recruited as metabolic "sponges," how AI-driven gut signatures are catching insulin resistance earlier than ever, and why an electronic "cyborg" mesh might be the key to making lab-grown pancreatic cells finally function like the real thing. It’s a steady shift toward an integrated, multi-system approach to metabolic health.
- [Now We Know What a Type 1 Cure Could Look Like](https://www.diabettech.com/now-we-know-what-a-type-1-cure-could-look-like/) - The Type 1 cure is no longer theoretical. Human data now points to a blueprint: working cells, immune evasion, and durable immune modulation.

The "Sinister" Saboteurs:
- [What If Type 1 Diabetes Was Treatable — If You Found It Early Enough?](https://www.diabettech.com/what-if-type-1-diabetes-was-treatable-if-you-found-it-early-enough/) - For most of its history, type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been diagnosed late. By the time symptoms appear, the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells has usually been underway for years, with a substantial proportion of insulin-producing capacity already lost. The consequences of this late diagnosis are familiar: diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), emergency hospital admissions, and
- [The Daily Bolus: What happened over the weekend?](https://www.diabettech.com/the-daily-bolus-what-happened-over-the-weekend/) - The Daily Bolus The weekend news has produced a rare mix of genuinely interesting diabetes science alongside the usual commercial background noise. Notably, some of the most consequential developments did not originate from device manufacturers or glucose-lowering drug pipelines, but from immune biology, metabolomics, and long-term disease-modification research.

It can be found here. http://joernl.github.io/LimiTTer/ In the spirit of #wearenotwaiting, I set out to build myself one to see how it worked!

A wonderful tool for monitoring blood glucose levels remotely. Allowing carers and parents to see what's going on with their children/protected family and friends. But, it's so much more than that. What am I talking about? I'm talking about what's possibly the best tool for visualising your diabetes care on the planet and enabling

Just how smart?](https://www.diabettech.com/ihealths-wireless-smart-glucose-monitoring-system-just-how-smart/) - I saw this device on one of the many Diabetes websites a while back and thought the idea of it sounded great. It looked like it might even be a valid alternative to the Dario, and I finally got my hands on it about a month ago, all entirely self funded. OKay, it's been in
- [#Diabetes Tech and #Download2016 - out the other side!](https://www.diabettech.com/diabetes-tech-and-download2016-out-the-other-side/) - With this week being Diabetes Week 2016 (I know we are trying to raise awareness of Diabetes, but sometimes I think that Diabetes Week, Diabetes Day and Diabetes Month is perhaps overkill) and with me in the hiatus between two festival trips, I thought now would be an ideal opportunity to write a brief description

It had rain, sun, and mud. Lots of it. Rather more a case of "Mud trials" than "Field trials", you could say. But both of these too: And it had me, with my 640G and Smartguard enabled.

Firstly, I'll review what we know of the SmartGuard algo, then I'll go into the data that

To summarise it, as a pump, it does little differently, aside from a less functional remote control, however it

It's essentially the OpenAPS code ported to run on an Android phone (with much of the work done by Tim Omer), and we are working on trying to get it talking to various pumps.

This leads

Because I'm not that bothered about it. There are certain terms that Diabetes HCPs shouldn't really be using in relation to dealing with patients (compliance and non-compliance being two of the most ridiculous and frustrating), but in general language it's too much

Well, let's be honest. Since I heard about it. It sounded rather different from anything we've seen on the Type 1 treatment front (well, if you discount Exubera) and looked like it would do some interesting things.

And I think at its heart it misses the point. I think at the core, in basic functionality, all pumps are essentially equal, in that they all provide basal and a variety of bolus capabilities, and have different reservoir capacities. All
