Type 1 Diabetes Technology & Research Discovery Meeting
📍 Venue: Croí House, Galway
🗓️ Date: Tuesday, 25th February 2025
⏰ Time: 6:15 PM
Speakers:

Diabetes technologies like Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM), insulin pumps, and hybrid closed-loop systems are transforming the lives of people with Type 1 diabetes. Just a few years ago, access to CGMs was limited, and awareness of insulin pump therapy was low. Today, there is unprecedented access to CGMs and hybrid closed-loop ‘artificial pancreas’ systems are becoming a reality.
Despite this progress, opportunities to learn directly from healthcare professionals about these technologies are rare. That’s why Diabetes Technology Network Ireland (DTN IRL), in collaboration with Diabetes Ireland, is hosting a technology information meeting in Galway. This event is designed for people living with Type 1 diabetes and parents/carers of children with Type 1 diabetes.
At this meeting, you will:
- Learn about the benefits of diabetes technology.
- Explore how these tools can help you manage your diabetes more effectively.
- Discover the range of technologies currently available in Ireland.
- Hear about the latest research developments in managing Type 1 diabetes.
- Get hands-on experience with the technology and speak directly with company representatives.
Our goal is to empower attendees to make informed decisions about diabetes technology in collaboration with their diabetes care team, choosing options that best meet clinical needs and lifestyle preferences.
Exhibitors/Supporters: Diabetes Ireland, Diabetes Technology Network Ireland, BreakthroughT1D, the Ireland Funds, Abbott, Air Liquide, Dexcom, Medtronic and Novo Nordisk.
