Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

  1. What does a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) measure?
    • Blood pressure every hour
    • Glucose in the fluid under the skin every few minutes
    • Insulin levels in the blood
    • Retinal blood vessel damage
  2. Which system did the FDA approve in 2016 as the first hybrid closed-loop insulin system?
    • Omnipod 5
    • Beta Bionics iLet
    • Tandem Control-IQ
    • Medtronic MiniMed 670G
  3. What does 'hybrid' mean in a hybrid closed-loop system?
    • Users generally still announce meals or give meal boluses
    • The system uses both insulin and glucose tablets
    • It works with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes only
    • It combines a CGM with a smartwatch
  4. What kind of algorithms do most automated insulin delivery systems use?
    • Large language models
    • Image recognition networks
    • Control algorithms such as model predictive control or PID control
    • Random number generators
  5. Why was the 2018 FDA authorization of IDx-DR significant?
    • It was the first insulin pump
    • It was the first autonomous AI diagnostic system, reading retinal images without a clinician interpreting them
    • It was the first CGM
    • It cured diabetic retinopathy
  6. Why are glucose forecasts judged with error grids such as Clarke or Parkes?
    • Error grids are faster to compute
    • They measure battery life
    • They are required only for retinal screening
    • They weight errors by clinical risk, since some mistakes are more dangerous than others
  7. Why must insulin controllers act on predicted glucose rather than current readings?
    • Current readings are never accurate
    • Pumps cannot read current values
    • CGM readings lag blood glucose and insulin takes time to reach peak effect
    • Regulators forbid using current readings
  8. Why are image-quality checks essential in autonomous retinopathy screening?
    • The system must reject ungradable photos rather than guess
    • They make images look better for patients
    • They remove the need for a camera
    • They speed up insulin delivery
