Diabetes technology changes fast. Our endocrinologists start, upgrade and fine-tune every current insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor (CGM) system, including the newest automated insulin delivery systems such as twiist and the implantable Eversense CGM. Through our research center, EndoTrials, some patients can also use devices that are not yet on the market as part of clinical studies.
Who benefits
- People with type 1 diabetes or LADA
- People with type 2 diabetes on multiple daily insulin injections
- Anyone with frequent or unnoticed low blood sugars (hypoglycemia unawareness)
- Anyone whose A1c is not where it should be despite effort, or who wants fewer fingersticks and more freedom
Automated insulin delivery (insulin pumps)
Modern pumps work with a CGM to adjust insulin automatically, day and night. We support all current systems, from tubed pumps to tubeless patch pumps, including twiist. We help you choose a system that fits your life and your insurance, set it up, and adjust its settings as your needs change.
Continuous glucose monitors
Wearable CGMs replace most fingersticks and show glucose trends on your phone, with alarms for highs and lows. For patients who prefer not to wear a sensor on the skin, the Eversense implantable CGM is placed just under the skin in a brief office procedure in La Jolla. We were the first site in Southern California to insert Eversense.
Access to new technology through studies
EndoTrials, our affiliated clinical research center in La Mesa, participates in studies of new diabetes devices and medicines. Ask us whether a current study might be a fit for you.
Getting started
- A visit with one of our endocrinologists to review your glucose data and goals
- Choosing a system, and insurance authorization, which our staff help with
- Training and start-up, then follow-up visits to fine-tune settings using your device data
