Eb replied to Sue R.'s discussion 'Artificial Pancreas Progress'"Hey Tom, great post. It's very practical and grounded in reality. I am concerned that these groups are taking the Hippocratic oath too literally. They are doing great on "do no harm" but don't seem to grasp the implications of…"
Tom Goffe replied to Sue R.'s discussion 'Artificial Pancreas Progress'"It would be nice if patients were allowed to make medical decisions. But given the various levels of patient knowledge and sophistication when it comes to their own medical issues and the complexities attendant to them, it is no wonder whey the FDA,…"
Sue R. replied to Sue R.'s discussion 'Artificial Pancreas Progress'"Thank you both for your thoughtful comments. 45 years since my T1 diagnosis. I was hopeful about CGM but found the Medtronic product useless in preventing lows. As for "unplugging my brain", I have to do that to sleep and find that those…"
"I agree with AR. I think the AP is a neat idea, but not that reasonable with current technology. A CGM that is on a 15 minute lag and insulin that takes 2 hours to peak in activity are too slow to make an AP that effective. This doesn't even…"
acidrock23 replied to Sue R.'s discussion 'Artificial Pancreas Progress'"I'm interested in the artificial pancreas but not all that optimistic about it. I think that you can learn or perhaps engage yourself might be a better word, useful things about insulin and your body that one might miss out on, or at least take…"
Eb replied to Sue R.'s discussion 'Artificial Pancreas Progress'"I'm also impatient to get the AP. Trying it out for a couple of days is not good enough. In this interview, one researcher reluctantly estimates that it will be available in Europe by 2016 and the US by…"
Sue R. replied to Sue R.'s discussion 'Artificial Pancreas Progress'"Thanks. Very helpful and I admire your knowledge of the Latin plural!"
"Artificial pancrei are still in the clinical research trial phase. There are no FDA approved artifical pancrei available in the USA. If you are interested in trying one out you can try to enter a research study. I would ask you endo if they know of…"

the New England Journal of Medicine is reporting great progress with the use of an artificial pancreas. Far better at reducing hypoglycemia that pump and CGM. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW WE COULD GET AN ARTIFICIAL PANCREAS? In this multinational, randomized, crossover trial, we assessed the short-term safety and efficacy of an artificial pancreas system for control of nocturnal glucose levels in patients with type 1 diabetes ...See More

Bernard said… - Do you find it harder because the pressure and expectations for better control is higher? Or because of something else? I'm curious, because seeing diabetes through other folks eyes is always useful to me.

- Sue, do you think it's gotten A LOT easier, despite the continuing annoyances of diabetes?
Are you planning to apply for a 50-year medal from Joslin later in the decade? My endo arranged for a large number of her patients to get the 25-year medal. So I got it around my 35th year anniversary. And it was nice to be together with a load of folks who were 25-year vets of this disease.
