Abstract
The development of technology, for example in the field of information technology or biotechnology and genetic engineering, has been breathtaking in recent decades. Development has also been rapid in the field of diabetes technology. However, no "technical cure" for diabetes has yet been achieved. Patients and also diabetes experts ask themselves why the availability of modern technologies does not automatically become visible in medical technology. They feel a gap between high technology and diabetes technology. However, the development and marketing of any product is an ever-increasing challenge. This will be mastered the faster; the higher the general dissemination, the higher the amortization of investments will be. It is generally necessary to understand the multiple steps from the idea of a product to its application to people.
