These devices are developing rapidly mainly with regard to information processing, design, features and connectivity with other devices. Modern treatment and monitoring of type 1 diabetes is being supported by rapid evolving technology as pumps for continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion and sensors for conti...

The recent advances in the areas of artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, wearable sensors and smartphone technologies permitted the introduction of systems that allows the monitoring, analysis and assessment of food intake, in terms of energy and nutrient content. To empower diabetic patients the Diabetes Technology Research laboratory of the ARTORG Center at the University of Bern (Switzerland) has developed GoCARB, a smartphone App, capable to translat...

Background: Since the publication of the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial results two decades ago, glycated haemoglobin (A1c) has remained the only validated measurement of glycemic control and marker for future complications.
