The system took readings every fifteen minutes and automatically titrated a proper amount of insulin. University of Cambridge researcher Dr Roman Hovorka led two studies to evaluate the performance of the artificial pancreas in 10 men and 14 women, aged 18 to 65, who had used an insulin pump for at least three months.

They were hosting a Type 1 Talk meeting, and I wanted to check it out.  I wasn't really sure what to expect.  I'm not sure if that is because I'm chronically behind on blog & news reading, or if JDRF didn't know the best way to promote it and get more people involved.We had a group of about 12-15 people there, and it was good to meet some new people living around here that live with type 1.  I also enjoyed meeting some of the local JDRF office staff.There were some technical difficulties during the first 20 minutes of the broadcast, but they got it all figured out in time to catch most of the session.  One thing I did catch in the first couple minutes, which made it all worthwhi...

Much progress has been made in terms of developing technology to help manage insulin doses, especially in children, but as good as they can be, there is still a lot of room for improvement. Type 1 diabetes, what used to be called insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes, cannot be cured. Insulin isn’t a cure, but rather, a way to manage it. The insulin must be given in specific doses and adjusted according to activity and food intake, something which can be quite difficult to do for an active child or teen. When blood sugar isn’t properly controlled, this can lead to severe complications later in life (blindness, ki...

Even moreso, while cheerleaders are fine for football teams, as a person with diabetes, I find many diabetes cheerleaders to be just plain annoying -- certainly not motivating. I need my job made easier, which does not mean motivation, a fact that seems to elude far too many diabetes researchers. The fact of the matter is that unlike other chronic diseases, type 1 diabetes never gives you a break (unlike MS, another chronic autoimmune disease, which sometimes gives patients a period of remission) and more often than not, diabetes will "act up" when you're least able to deal with it.For example, even with "sick day rules", many people find it close to impossible to really manage their blood glucose le...

Hear ye! I have an announcement to make. About 3 months ago, a committee formed to explore the possibility of creating a new conference series for adults with type 1 diabetes. Most conferences are currently geared towards all types of diabetes, but a group of us felt there should be more for the unique challenges that are posed to adults living with type 1. With that in mind, we are conducting an interest study for the conference. Who would you like to see at the conference? Tell us what is missing from Type 1 diabetes (besides the obvious **cure**). This will help us with programming, as well as securing sponsorships for the event. Besides giving you all you want from the latest and greatest in type ...
