In this episode, Drs Aideen Daly and Julia Fuchs join us to discuss the clinical trials for a new 'artificial pancreas' system. This system is designed to manage a type 1 diabetics blood sugar, by integrating a continuous glucose monitor, an app, as well as an insulin pump.
We discuss:
1) Some of the history of type 1 diabetics, and why diabetics need to inject insulin to regulate their blood glucose.
2) Insights gained on from the trials about the system's efficacy
3) The difference between a single hormone vs two hormone system
Aideen and Julia are clinical researchers in the Hovorka group at the Wellcome-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science in Cambridge, which is focused on developing the artificial pancreas technology.
