Diabetes Technology Society

It was established in 2001 by David C. Klonoff (Mills Peninsula Health Services).

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
• Discuss Continuous glucose monitor and their benefits in comparison to self-monitoring of blood glucose
• Go over the new technology being implemented to help in the release of the Artificial pancreas into the market
• Identify new insulin products (like Inhaled insulin, biosimilar insulin, glucose responsive insulin). Also, discuss how global warming has an effect on insulin stability
• Successfully understand how mobile apps could benefit managing diabetes
• Go over insulin pump therapy
• Discuss social media and its effects on benefiting 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]

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.[3] In 2014, they launched the surveillance program.[4][5]

The bi-monthly peer-reviewed medical journal, Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology, is published by SAGE Publications on behalf of Diabetes Technology Society.
