Her specialist interests include Type 1 diabetes, insulin pump therapy and diabetes technology, young adults with diabetes and antenatal diabetes care. Dr Wilmot is chair of the ABCD Diabetes Technology Network UK. In this role she leads the delivery of a programme of educational events for multidisciplinary diabetes teams. She is a member of the National Diabetes Audit Insulin Pump Expert Reference Group and has been heavily involved in the development of the 2018 national Type 1 diabetes service level audit. She has also led the development of a suite of national ‘best practice’ guides related to insulin pump therapy. Dr Wilmot has been involved in the #language matters movement which aims to improve healthcare professional communication with people with diabetes. Dr Wilmot was awarded the University of Leicester medal for excellent PhD performance in 2013 for her PhD “Type 2 diabetes in younger adults”.

Dr. Iain Cranston is a diabetes physician based in Portsmouth, UK. He has specialty responsibility for the delivery of technology‐driven services (CSII / CGM etc.) to approximately 1% of the UK population. Alongside this, he is the lead diabetes clinician for the Wessex renal and transplant centre, managing individuals with specific and high glycaemic risks.

He has a background in clinical research, obtained during his time at Guy’s and King’s College and St Thomas’ Hospitals, into impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia in insulin‐treated diabetes and the cerebral and endocrine mechanisms underlying the syndrome. For the last 20 years, Dr Cranston has been in practice with the goal of translating the lessons learnt from research into routine clinical care consultations. This has resulted in a focus on effective glucose monitoring strategies to underpin clinical decision‐making and the development of data analytical processes to guide clinical consultations towards more effective therapeutic interventions in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. He has published widely on this topic area (over 60 Peer‐reviewed publications) and has been an invited speaker at Diabetes UK, EASD and many National meetings around the world.

For the last 4 years, Dr Cranston has been a co‐director in a collaborative educational project with Professor Roger Mazze (International Diabetes Center [IDC] Minnesota), at the AGP Clinical Academy, which has the central goal of educating healthcare professionals in the effective clinical interpretation of the ambulatory glucose profile derived from continuous glucose monitoring technologies
