Diabetes Technology Society
Diabetes Technology Society (DTS) is a nonprofit organization that promotes the use of new technology to assist patients living with diabetes.
Founded
[edit]It was established in 2001 by David C. Klonoff (Mills Peninsula Health Services).
Activities
[edit]DTS is responsible for organizing three scientific conferences each year. They are:
- Diabetes Technology Meeting
- Clinical Diabetes Technology Meeting
- European Clinical Diabetes Technology Meeting[1]
Some of the educational objectives discussed during these conferences include:
- The understanding of cybersecurity and its relation to the medical device industry, specifically diabetes devices
- Go over the new technology being implemented to help in the release of the Artificial pancreas into the market
- Discuss Continuous glucose monitor and their benefits in comparison to self-monitoring of blood glucose
- Identify new insulin products (like Inhaled insulin, biosimilar insulin, glucose responsive insulin). Also, discuss how global warming has an effect on insulin stability
- Go over insulin pump therapy
- Discuss social media and its effects on benefiting managing diabetes
- Successfully understand how mobile apps could benefit managing diabetes
- Identify the new treatments available in the market for "Diabetic foot" and go over future treatments for diabetic limb salvage and prevention[2][3]
Achievements
[edit]In 2013, DTS gained support from the Food and Drug Administration for a proposed post-market surveillance system to test the accuracy and quality of self-monitoring of blood glucose systems.[4] In 2014, they launched the surveillance program.[5][6]
Publishing
[edit]The bi-monthly peer-reviewed medical journal, Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology, is published by SAGE Publications on behalf of Diabetes Technology Society.
