According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a “caveat” is, “a warning to consider something before doing anything more.” It is fitting that CES is held in Las Vegas, land of high risk and, with a lot of luck, reward. With that theme in mind, I depart LAS airport tonight on an aptly-named red-eye flight back home, pondering not what I saw — some of which I covered daily over the past week — but what I didn’t see.

Modeling Food to Glucose Process. Many physiologic processes in the body have been described with a model-based structure. Insulin absorption was modeled as early as 1959, and compartment models for it followed. Insulin’s effect on glucose was modeled with compartment to compartment flows as well. This incorporated both production in Type 2 patients and disposal, including how it was potentially diminished by insulin resistance.

Systems Education. I was always technically inclined, and majored in physics in college, then did graduate work in Cybernetic Systems. Cybernetics has come to mean computer and internet related technology, but when it was first used in the 1940s it referred to communication and engineering control systems. It was in that graduate school program that I learned of adaptive control and model-based control, as opposed to traditional feedback control.

Diabetes care is especially complex for T2D because there are a lot of variables that impact the effect of food, insulin, and exercise on blood glucose. Fortunately for Type 1 diabetes, the body’s food and insulin inputs, and the resulting blood glucose output is relatively straightforward, and knowing how they work together can help in achieving BG control.

If you’re a healthcare provider, chances are you have experienced symptoms of burnout yourself or have colleagues who are currently facing extreme career dissatisfaction. One of the many ways to partially alleviate burnout is active patient engagement. By engaging with patients to understand their needs and preferences, healthcare providers can develop treatments tailored to the individual patient.

Bolus insulin is the insulin you take for food. What you eat is digested in stages; some is absorbed right in the mouth, which is what makes honey the best thing to use for a serious hypoglycemic emergency. Honey is separated into glucose and fructose by enzymes added to nectar by bees. Sucrose, or table sugar, on the other hand, is a disaccharide that passes through the stomach without digestion, and finally breaks down in the small intestine, after which the liver converts it into glucose.

Glucose measurement technology has advanced and this has enabled the control strategies that can be used today. Introduction. Our body needs the energy to work, and there are just a few ways for cells to get that energy: oxidizing (burning) either fat or a sugar known as glucose. Glucose is the result of the digestion of carbohydrates in the gut (stomach and duodenum) whence it is absorbed by blood and delivered around the body.

How to interpret CGM for BG control. Continuous glucose monitors provide a wealth of information that may be used tactically to improve BG control. Some of this is provided right on a Dexcom CGM receiver by the “trend arrow” that it displays, but the algorithm they use to come up with it cannot know the insulin you took, not to speak of any exercise or even recent meals, so it does not always display as comprehensive a trend as a better-informed estimate could.
