*4.3.1 Diabetes technology*

Diabetes technology is described as the hardware, devices, and software that people with diabetes use to help manage their condition, from lifestyle to blood glucose levels. Traditionally, diabetes technology has been divided into two main classes: insulin administered by syringe, pen, or pump, and continuous glucose monitor (CGM). More recently, diabetes technology has gotten bigger to include hybrid devices that both monitor glucose and deliver insulin, some automatically, as well as software that serves as a medical device, providing diabetes self-management support [11].
