Jack Hailstone


 


Jack is currently studying medicine at The University of Auckland and this year is on clinical placement at Auckland City Hospital. He has a degree in Science from University of Otago and grew up on Waiheke Island.

Diagnosed with Type 1 at the age of 9, Jack has seen a few changes in medical technology; from drawing up insulin in syringes, to dialling a number into an insulin pen, then insulin pumps, and now the likes of the mighty Dexcom CGM. His brief story will provide a patients perspective to using the Dexcom G5, the pros and cons he has experienced along with a vision for the future.
