In the last decade, there have been significant advances in how technology is used in the treatment of people living with type 1 diabetes. These technologies primarily aim to help manage blood sugar levels. Here, we reviewed research published over the last decade to evaluate the impact of such technologies on type 1 diabetes treatment. We find that various types of novel technologies, such as devices to monitor blood sugar levels continuously or deliver insulin, improve important diabetes-related measures and can reduce the risk of having low blood sugar levels. Importantly, several studies showed a positive impact of technologies on quality of life in people living with diabetes. Our findings highlight the benefits of novel technologies in the treatment of type 1 diabetes and identify areas for further research to optimize and personalize diabetes care.
