An artificial pancreas is a system for people whose pancreases doesn't make insulin - an insulin pump where doses are calculated automatically by reference to a continuous glucose monitor.Type 1 diabetics don't make insulin because an autoimmune attack has killed off the insulin producing cells. Some type 2 diabetics don't make any insulin when their pancreas is worn out, but type two treated with oral medication or with diet has no call for an artificial pancreas, because the pancreas is still working.</blockquote>
