ISSUE 124 Making sense of the
sudden upsurge in
sensor use in all thing
medical, not just
diabetes, we report on the new
digital age of electronic body patches
for everything from glucose, to
temperature, and beyond.
There are three interviews in this
issue. We have NHS worker Andy
Lavender talking about his diabetes
kit and the ultra-challenges he has
found he could complete using a
pump and CGM (image a day of being
100% time-in-range… then imagine
a week!). Then there's Khalid Keshta
who's also risen to a unique challenge
while living with T1D. After a leg
injury foiled his football career, he
returned to the gym and eventually
EDITOR'S COMMENT
ended up winning body-building
competitions. I thought we'd have
nothing in common when we met,
but I couldn't have been more wrong.
Then there's a catch up with
Dexcom's CEO, Kevin Sayer, talking
to us ahead of the much-anticipated
launch of the company's G7 sensor.
Then, there's a Company Profile
of Warwickshire-based Advanced
Therapeutics which brings us the
Dana range of insulin pumps. There's
part 2 of our fishy food feature, with
info on some of the best online fish
markets where you can have your
selections delivered direct to your
home. Our Making Carbs Count
this issue is about black rice, with a
couple of tasty, summery recipes - a
cold soup (gazpacho) and a fruity
fresh salad.
We're back in September with
our next issue. Enjoy the summer as
much as possible.

The small Print
With our website and monthly online
magazine we aim to bring diabetesrelated
information to anyone who
wishes to read it. Our editorial sections
presently include kit, news, food news
and features. As far as kit is concerned,
we produce listings so you can then
choose what's best for your own
diabetes care. We are not necessarily
recommending products but bringing
you information about them.
We include global news stories
with a local focus on the UK and Irish
markets. Sources are supplied as often
as possible so you can go back and
read the original or fuller reports.
Features are on any and all aspects of
living with diabetes. We tend to focus
on new products and technological
advancements. Sometimes features
are themed specifically for T1D or for
T2D; you can pick what you want to
read about.
Adverts are supplied by
advertisers and we do not implicitly
endorse the suppliers or products
involved. If an item is sponsored,
such as the feature or news sections,
then it is written by Desang with
advertising banners associated with
the sponsor; the sponsor does not
have full editorial control but they
do have input. Advertorial is stated
as such - it will say 'advertisement
promotion' and may look like the
rest of the magazine's design but it
is written in collaboration with the
advertiser. They get their message
across but with advice and input from
Desang's writers and editors.
Trademark and Copyright symbols
are not included in editorial coverage,
only within adverts. These marks are
not necessarily of interest to readers
and impede the reading experience. If
we included them for every product
covered the pages would be a very
unappealing to read.
We aim to bring you information,
but it's your diabetes. Talk to your
medical team if you have further
questions or concerns. While
we report on products such as
supplements or glycaemic index and
carb-counting as part of diet, it is your
responsibility to find out more if you
need to.
We include coverage of all sorts of
foods - soft drinks, chocolate, booze -
as these are part of normal life. We are
not encouraging consumption of these
items, we are bringing you information
about them. You choose what you eat.
We'd include soft drinks as they can
come in handy for treating a hypo, not
necessarily as part of a diabetic diet.
