New diabetes technology

New technology and software to support your diabetes care at ESNEFT

People living with diabetes have a range of state-of-the-art technologies and software available to help manage your diabetes. They include simple blood glucose meters, continuous glucose meters and insulin pumps. They are designed to help alleviate the burden of living with diabetes.

We have a technology team consisting of doctors, nurses and a diabetes technology specialist who aims to provide you with the best clinical and technical support.

Your team will discuss which technology will be best for your needs. They will also advise what steps you need to take to qualify for being provided with them.
