MARCOS PAZOS COUSELO

Marcos Pazos Couselo is a contracted Professor in the Department of Psychiatry, Radiology, Public Health, Nursing and Medicine at the University of Santiago de Compostela's Faculty of Nursing. He holds a Doctorate in Nursing Science from the same university (2014), with a thesis focusing on glycemic variability and aging in type 2 diabetes patients. His research interests center on diabetes management, gerontology, glycemic control technologies, and public health interventions. He leads studies on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), insulin pump therapy, and the impact of closed-loop systems in real-world settings.

He is affiliated with the research group on Dependency, Gerontology, and Geriatrics, exploring aging-related health challenges and chronic disease management. Notable contributions include evaluating advanced diabetes technologies, such as hybrid closed-loop systems, and analyzing glycemic variability's role in cognitive decline. His work often bridges clinical practice and public health, emphasizing patient-centered outcomes like quality of life and treatment adherence.

Recent research highlights include assessing diabetes risk via CGM in non-diabetic populations, investigating emotional factors in type 1 diabetes, and optimizing insulin delivery systems. He collaborates on multinational trials and contributes to evidence-based guidelines for diabetes care.
