Episode 30 — Educating on the algorithms behind diabetes devices Artwork

The Glucose Never Lies® Podcast

Host John Pemberton — diabetes educator, researcher, and dad living with type 1 since 2008 — explores how to think clearly about type 1 diabetes in the real world.

Each episode translates current evidence and expert practice into decisions you can use: CGM accuracy and interpretation, getting more from pumps and automated insulin delivery, movement as a glucose tool, nutrition that protects performance and enjoyment, sleep, travel, parties, and sport.

Guests include leading clinicians, researchers, and people with lived experience. Expect respectful challenge, plain language, and practical take-aways.

In this episode of Glucose Never Lies, John Pemberton welcomes Dr. Inge Van Boxelaer, endocrinologist and founder of Diabetotech, an independent education platform for diabetes technology. Together, they explore the critical role of education in maximizing the benefits of devices like continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), insulin pumps, and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems.

Dr. Van Boxelaer shares her journey from clinical practice to creating Diabetotech, highlighting how access to technology isn’t enough—patients and healthcare professionals need structured, unbiased, and up-to-date training. The conversation covers how Diabetotech delivers short, modular courses, device comparisons, and CPD-accredited content, helping clinicians, educators, and people living with diabetes gain confidence and improve outcomes.
