The Early Show as a feature on a prototype of an artificial
pancreas. It is the same idea some have proposed here.

They now have a prototype on a female doc. They say
it may be common in five or ten years.

The person interviewed said it is for type 1 but there is no reason it
would not work for type 2.

It provides continuous reading and computes the dose.

You mean it's a fancy insulin pump.

Pardon me for taking exception to the misuse of "artificial pancreas".
Nothing is this unless it PRODUCES insulin.

I Agree. I remember the implantable insulin pumps in the 1990's.
Apparently nobody thought about what would happen if you keep insulin
at body temperature (98.6F) instead of the recommended 70F degrees. I
think they gave up pretty quickly.

On another note...I received my Dexcom 7 Continuous blood glucose
monitor yesterday (if anyone is interested). I am stunned by the
results i am getting. I thought i was in good control until I took a
look at what was happening in between the standard 4 blood sugar tests
per day. It was normal at bedtime, then I was all over the place
during the night, but by the time I woke up in the morning, it was
back to normal. If anyone has a chance to try one of these out, I
highly recommend it.

I cried for a good CGMS for years. I sure used a lot of strips and
loss of sleep solve my condition.

Several here have been on a CGMS device and report the
wide swings in blood glucose.

From what I know it would be a very good
improvement to control on a short schedule
around the clock.

I think what I saw indicated a longer time implanted
device improvement

We seem to a long way from growing new organs.
..
The device shown on TV was being used by a doc as a
experiment that shows promise. TOO damn late
for me.

They did mention that test--calculate--inject is a current
standard method. What I have been doing for years. But
not every few minutes.

Read the other reply here.

***************THIS what we need to be discussing.******

Semantics or grammar are not proper for here. I want help for this
damn disease which wrecked much of my life. I do not care about hurt
feelings or being called names by mentally ill.

I will spend some time on the research of the CGMS mentioned in the
other reply. We used to cover so any things important here to
diabetes.

More important that the taste of broccoli or the restaurant menu a
person likes.
the word is oxymoron.

Thank you for the reply. I do remember the threads were we
discussed Medtronic's work on the device and the feasibility of a
device. I think our contacts name was Joe Lambert.

When a person loses insulin production it is usually not a good
situation at best. We were snowed under by diet fights and lost our
way. Today we are away off base.

So many are suffering unnecessarily when a few
rationalize gross eating.

When a "Meddie" mentions sliding scale to me.Ugh.

We are not where we should be now.
