Abstract

Technological Innovations in Diabetes Therapy Abstract. In the last few years a whole array of technical innovations has dramatically increased treatment options for patients with diabetes mellitus. Capillary blood glucose measurements are increasingly replaced by continuous glucose monitoring. More and more insulin pump systems are linked up to continuous glucose monitoring, which thereby become ever more self-regulating. Novel ultra-long and ultra-short acting insulins have become available. There will soon be oral alternatives for several anti-diabetic treatments, which hitherto needed to be injected.

Zusammenfassung. Über die vergangenen Jahre hat eine wahre Flut an technologischen Innovationen die Behandlungsmöglichkeiten für Menschen mit Diabetes mellitus drastisch erweitert. Die kapilläre Blutzuckermessung wird nach und nach durch die kontinuierliche Glukosemessung ersetzt. Immer mehr Insulinpumpen-Systeme werden an kontinuierliche Glukosemessung gekoppelt und dadurch zunehmend selbstregulierend. Neue ultra-lang und -kurz wirksame Insuline sind erhältlich. Für mehrere anti-diabetische Wirkstoffgruppen, die bisher injiziert werden mussten, gibt es bald orale Alternativen.
