Type 1 diabetes and automated insulin delivery: Would life be easier without having to announce every meal?

Hi everyone 💙

For many people living with type 1 diabetes, eating isn't always as simple as just enjoying a meal.

There may be carbohydrate counting, checking glucose levels, calculating insulin and remembering to give a meal bolus at the right time.

Newer automated insulin delivery systems and hybrid closed-loop pumps can already adjust some insulin automatically. Researchers are now exploring technology that could respond to meals with even less input from the person using it.

For someone who has been making diabetes decisions around every meal for years, that could potentially reduce some of the daily mental load.

💬 We'd love to hear from you:

• Do you ever get tired of counting carbs and announcing meals to your pump?
• Would you trust an automated system to handle more of your mealtime insulin?
• What part of managing meals with type 1 diabetes feels most demanding?
• Would less interaction with your diabetes technology improve your quality of life?

Technology is changing quickly, but the people using it every day know which problems actually need solving.

If your diabetes technology could take one daily task off your hands, what would you choose?
