Technology is making it easier for people with diabetes -- both Type 1 and Type 2 -- to receive a timely, correct amount of insulin. Explaining how pumps, monitors and other methods work or are being developed to keep blood sugar at a healthy level is Ruth Weinstock, MD, PhD, who also discusses the devices undergoing clinical trials at Upstate and what's on the horizon for diabetes treatment. She is a distinguished professor of medicine and the chief of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism at Upstate. She is also a past president of medicine and science of the American Diabetes Association.
