This book is for you if …

• CGM alerts are running your life instead of supporting it.
• You are choosing your first pump or considering an upgrade and the marketing is overwhelming.
• You want a manufacturer-neutral explanation of how AID systems actually work.
• You have been pump-shamed or CGM-shamed by someone, somewhere.
• You want a framework for evaluating any future diabetes tech without falling for hype.
• You are happy on MDI and tired of being told you ‘should’ use a pump.

What’s inside

• The TAMED Framework: Trust, Access, Maintenance, Effort, Data – how to evaluate any diabetes technology.
• CGMs explained without manufacturer spin: what they actually measure, what they don’t, and how to read trends without anxiety.
• Pumps: a clear, neutral comparison of the categories (tubed, patch, hybrid closed-loop).
• Automated Insulin Delivery – what’s commercially available, what’s emerging, what’s still DIY territory.
• Smart pens – where they fit, where they don’t, and why MDI is still completely valid.
• Apps, dashboards, data sharing, and the surveillance trade-off.
• What to ask your diabetes team before any technology change.
• When to step away from the gear and go back to basics, briefly.

Why this book is different

Most diabetes technology content is sponsored, marketed, or written from one product’s perspective. Tech Tamed is manufacturer-neutral – no affiliate links, no kickbacks – and built around a framework you can apply to anything new that comes along over the next ten years.
