Yes, to the best of my knowledge this would be what they consider closing the loop! It would take the "manual" carb counting and dosing out of the hands of the user.

Is this what they refer to as a "Closed System"?

Since I'm going on the Pod I'm am really hoping they come up with something....Tubeless & Waterproof...Is that sweet or what!

Has there been any advancements in this department? I haven't seen any new posts here for a year and I'm wondering if the Artifical Pancreas is still an area of interest for treatment?

I attempted to get a pancreas ONLY transplant appointment at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville FL, but my endo said I shouldn't do it yet- too risky for complications from severe surgery and at this point in my T1D care, I'm not in enough danger on my own.

Still interesting to look in to, though- I'd love to be free of the D for just a few years, if could happen.

Anyone know if there are any clinical trails in the US yet. If so I would love to possible participate. I think that this is something that will actually happen and honestly this is a dream come true. I don't care if I have wear a pump and sensors for the rest of my lfie if they do the work for me and keep my blood sugars in check. that would be amazing.

Monica, Thanks for setting the group up. A Diabetes educator with MiniMed told me the technology is there but the differences with each person is the problem to work out. Sign me up when it comes.

Monica this sounds SO interesting I would love to learn more! I have had diabetes for 34 years ( I think, but who's counting) I have a 19 year old who is also a Type 1 and now she has 2 girls ages 19 months and 6 weeks tomorrow. I would hate like crap to see them get this. I want their lives to be more worry free than mine or my daughter's.
