SLOconf 2023 - Type 1 Diabetic management and SLOs - Michael Knox

Michael Knox (ANZ)

In this talk, I'm looking at parallels, lessons & inspiration from Type 1 Diabetics tracking and responding to their Blood Glucose Levels, and SLO's in an IT system context. Type 1 Diabetics are always on-call, with potentially life threatening ramifications for events that they respond to on a daily basis.

A friend of mine, and my wife, are both Type 1 Diabetics; there are parallels and lessons that we can draw from their experience of being on-call 24x7; with Monitoring, burn rate predictions, Incidents, Alert Fatigue, Problem Management activities all playing a core part of their lives.
