Artificial Pancreas Improves Glycemic Control in Children With Type 1 Diabetes

“Our study data show, for the first time, that among young children, 5 to 8 years old, this artificial pancreas maintains blood sugars in the target range better than the usual home regimen.”

“With the exception of insulin dosing for food intake, artificial pancreas makes all the dosing decisions,” he said. “It can track the patient’s blood sugar level and adjust the amount of insulin given to keep the blood sugar in a target range.”
