Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in Movies: The Hollywood Effect
This sample of fictional movies portrays extreme T1D symptoms and mostly outdated monitoring and treatment technology. It would be beneficial if future movies reflected the advances in closed-loop CGM/insulin pumps. Clinicians should know how the movie industry presents the disease to their patients. Clinicians can use popular movies to start difficult discussions with patients about topics pertinent to the comprehensive care of T1D.
