New technologic devices are presented: insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices as well as morphine pumps to help general practitioners to deal different intensive situations. Insulin pumps and CGM devices are revolutionary for the management of diabetes. However, their use requires strong patient involvement, the opposite of automated diabetes management. Morphine pumps are a great help when patients in end-of-life stage cannot swallow oral morphine anymore. This article summarizes the main principles of use of these technological devices, common problems and situations at risk primary care practice.
