Diabetes With No Finger Pricks

Wow! what a wonderful little device that millions of people in the world could use to ease the burden of diabetes. It's horrible to poke yourself 6-8 times a day. But it's what we all have to do to stay well. At least it coming soon.

That would make a difference for so many people. I hope that they work out the kinks and it will be on the market soon after the testing is complete. I know people who cold benefit from this that are type 1.

Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! This could be so great for so many people. Troy would be eight in five years. This gives me knew hope and now I'm going to go tell my husband who is mowing the lawn. This is a good thing we all can come together and pray on. Starting now for me. Thank-you God for looking out for diabetics and please help with a cure and until then help find ways to ease diabetic pains and discomforts. In Jesus name I pray...Amen Troy's Mom.

Interesting thing about the artifical pancreas studies is they never mention about patients going low. A true balance would need some type of glucose released to increase one's glucose as well. That would be a break through

Great news. Hope it hits market sooner than 5 to 10 years.

Glad I am finally able to see the video. I hope it becomes available sooner than 5 years away...but whenever it arrives it will be a breakthrough. Kudos to the creators of this device!!

Marvelous idea, I hope that it may be available sooner than the 5 or 10 years mentioned. Although initially it is a bit of an uncomfortable idea for me to take the human interaction out of the treatment and rely solely on the computer to do all the work for you but I would enjoy the freedom of not having to be so dependent on the constant monitoring.

This is the 2nd time that I've watched this video & commented on it.

I'm a type 2 Diabetic & am doing very well on oral meds. But, after thinking about this new medical breakthrough, I think that, if I were to require insulin, I would go for this kind of thing.

One of my worst fears about Diabetes & Insulin was having to make calculations about how much insulin I needed.

Alas! Have an old dynosaur PC, cannot see the video, but it don't matter, It is reassuring we can see a light @ the end of the tunnel, but am curious as to how it will work? Will it require having a outboard device connected periodically to your body through a cath-eter, or will it be like an artificial heart where it is surgically implanted inside the body? Also, will it require some sort of battery if it IS placed "in-vitro" or will it be powered by our own nervous and muscular system? I anxiously await your various opinions on this, thanx ahead!

Once this is approved I would think it a short step to doing this for non insulin dependent Type 2 diabetics. It could inject liquefied versions of the pills we now take.
