Hope for Diabetics: Artificial Pancreas


This is a ray of hope for Type one diabetics dependent on insulin, continuous blood glucose monitors have been around for a while and insulin pumps now they have put the two together. It's currently in the early stages and being tested on 75 folks in the US but so far the results are good, allowing them to lead a more normal life and eat what they want (of course healthy choices are a plus!) the device checks the glucose then injects the correct amount of insulin. I have been a dietitian 9 years and the advances in diabetes care over this time are mind blowing. 
Praise God for smart scientists...

    wow, that's amazing. I know a few people with type 1 DM and they do really well monitoring their bs, and giving themselves insulin, but this amazing invention would change their lives forever! Thanks for the information, it's so neat, and it provides great hope for the future!
