The Artificial Pancreas, Unteathered.

The Artificial Pancreas making you loopy?

Lots of folks are working hard to close the loop of Pump, CGM and Software to make an artificial pancreas. JDRF has made it a high profile mission. NIH and FDA have a workshop coming up.

It is interesting to read about people who have a different perspective. Outside the loop as it were. A University of Akron professor is teaming up with the Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine to taking a biological approach. His group is, if you will forgive the over simplification, making a small tube with holes in it that may do the job.

So if you missed it here is an article on their work:
