If we learned anything about diabetes products in 2016, it’s that progress can happen faster than we anticipate. The diabetes community…
Medtronic, Inc. announced the global launch of the MiniMed 640G System, the next breakthrough toward an artificial pancreas.
The system is the first in the world to both automatically suspend insulin delivery when sensor glucose levels are predicted to approach a low limit, and then resume insulin delivery once sensor glucose levels recover.
It really did happen, I was in an Artificial Pancreas clinical trial. I got to test a future technology, a technology that is currently unavailable…
It’s all so weird and like no other experience I’ve ever had. Lights-out exactly at 11pm and it was a mad dash to brush my teeth in time.…
In June of 2013 I had the opportunity to hear Tom Brobson speak about his participation in the University of Virginia’s Artificial Pancreas Project.…

JDRF has announced a two partnerships to support the development soluble glucagon formulations—an important step toward the advancement of future generation, fully automated and multi-hormonal artificial pancreas systems for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Five adults in the UK with type 1 diabetes have used an artificial pancreas in their homes without medical supervision. This step offers real hope for a future where people with type 1 diabetes no longer have to monitor blood glucose levels, and where they have a better chance of living a long and healthy life.
JDRF and Tandem Diabetes Care, the company behind the t:slim insulin pump, have teamed up to develop a dual-chamber infusion pump for the management of diabetes. The partnership agreement is designed to accelerate the development of a next-generation, fully automated artificial pancreas system.
