Currently serving as an endocrinologist and Executive Director of the International Diabetes Center, Bergenstal has been a champion of advancing diabetes technology, specifically continuous glucose monitoring and automated insulin delivery systems, since the advent of these technologies. During his time at the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists Diabetes Technology Conference 2022 in Chicago, Bergenstal sat down with hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, for a special edition episode of Diabetes Dialogue: Technology, Therapeutics, and Real-World Perspectives.

In the episode, Bergenstal discusses the role and evolution of continuous glucose monitoring and automated insulin delivery systems, as well as other technologies, in the management of diabetes. Later, Bergenstal offers perspective on ongoing research and future needs as the field looks to optimize the application of these technologies.
