New diabetes technologies, such as insulin pump therapies and continuous glucose monitors (CGM), have become important tools for helping control hypoglycemia and achieving glycemic targets. There are, of course, advantages and disadvantages to the adoption of these technological tools, and patients require mastery of new skills in order to use these tools successfully. For the patient, use of the new technologies can be overwhelming or extremely helpful, which often depends on one’s level of knowledge about the new tools. Therefore, this chapter provides the basic foundation for educating patients about these new diabetes technologies.
