Type 1 Diabetes and Observability
Type 1 diabetes is a life-long autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system attacks the pancreas making it incapable of producing insulin – a hormone needed to process glucose (sugar) for energy. As a result, insulin is required multiples a time by injection, and careful monitoring to prevent glucose levels from going too high or too low – both of which can be fatal. Luckily, with technology we have devices like continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) that can monitor glucose levels in real time without the need for finger pricks....
