Abstract
Diabetes technology is a dynamically evolving field. Sometimes the pace of evaluation of new diabetes technologies does not keep pace with its dynamic development. This leads to a dilemma: either the evaluation lags behind the developing technologies or diabetes technologies are used without sufficient evaluation. This situation is known as the Catch 22 dilemma. The aim of this paper is a discussion of ideas for a timely assessment, taking account of the speed of technological development and the need for evidence and safety improvement.
