We are pleased to announce that two Joint Editors-in-Chief have been appointed for the British Journal of Diabetes (BJD), the official journal of the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists. The journal aims to increase knowledge, disseminate and stimulate research, and promote better management of people with diabetes by providing a forum for the exchange of ideas.

Abstract

Generic Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT or Grok, offer potential as supplementary tools for diabetes management by assisting with tasks like initial carb estimation from food images and identifying patterns in glucose data, however, it is paramount that healthcare professionals and people living with diabetes understand these systems are not a substitute for medical expertise and
cannot safely provide definitive medical advice or insulin dosing recommendations. Everyone should be aware of several critical limitations.
