Breakthrough T1D Education Series: Clinician Perspective on Diabetes Devices
Please join us for a free informative and engaging discussion about diabetes devices and technologies and how they might work for you, or your loved ones with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
When: Wednesday, November 19, 2025, 8:00 p.m. EST (French at 7:00 p.m.)
Where: Microsoft Teams (a link will be sent after registration)
Who: Presented by Alanna Weisman, MD, PhD, FRCP(C), Assistant Professor, University of Toronto, Division of Endocrinology & Metabolism, Mount Sinai Hospital & University Health Network and moderated by Breakthrough T1D
As part of our ongoing Breakthrough T1D Education Series, this free virtual event will provide participants with information on:
- what devices can do for people with T1D;
- recent clinical practice guideline updates about automated insulin delivery (AID) use;
- talking with healthcare providers about devices;
- pros/cons of looped vs not looped; and more.
Living with type 1 diabetes means daily decisions, including the best way to administer insulin and measure blood glucose levels for you. We hope this session will provide more information to help better inform and guide these decisions.
There will also be the opportunity for a question-and-answer period, but please note we cannot answer any questions about the next generation of devices or provide personal health advice.
We hope to see you there.
This event is open to everyone.
