Diabetes technology is rapidly advancing. This presents challenges for diabetes clinicians to stay uptodate with the technology and provide support to those living with diabetes to achieve maximal benefit from available systems for their individual needs.

There are currently 3, possibly soon 4, automated insulin delivery systems in Australia with each having different control algorithms and different usage of programmed settings. The low and tight glycaemic target range for pregnancy provides additional challenges for the systems.

As well it is challenging for in-hospital diabetes services with need for updated local policies and guidelines as well as compatibility between the electronic medical record systems and diabetes technology downloads.
