What is the new name for monkeypox? And how does self-management technology for diabetes actually work? Find out with MIMS Learning editors and diabetes clinical adviser Dr Tom Crabtree in the second episode of the Clinical Update podcast. 

In this episode, medical editor Sangeeta Krishnan talks about the new name for monkeypox, its prevalence, modes of transmission and who’s at risk, with tips from a learning module by Dr Suneeta Kochhar.

Next, editor Dawn Powell interviews our clinical adviser for diabetes, Dr Tom Crabtree, to find out the difference between intermittent and continuous glucose monitoring, hybrid closed-loop systems and other important pieces of diabetes technology. Self-managing diabetes is challenging for patients, so understanding the technology can help.

Finally, Pat, Dawn and Sangeeta discuss the latest research on a new(ish) long-term condition that affects many thousands of clinicians as well as patients.
