Cool products in development

Sounds really great esp if it includes a CGM sensor so only one device needs to be worn!

Yeah that would be really cool!

I am always a bit skeptical of claims that a pump could be worn for 7 days though. Particularly when no explanation is offered how this new technology is going to prevent lipodistrophy and cannula occlusions. In this case they do explain how their new insulin analog makes occlusions less likely to occur, but it remains unclear whether and how lipodistrophy is prevented. Also my experience is that infusion sites often start itching after 2-3 days. Can they prevent that?

Yes, agree, and more often than not, it is the Pod that I keep on longer than 3 days (using the 8 hour grace period after 3-day expiration), that causes me problems.
