One thing I thought from looking at the pic on Dr Hovorka's page is the <cough>beta</cough> pancreas is a bit cumbersome, especially if intended for small people. But from what they and tim2000's doing, looks like there's scope for integration. Especially if there's co-operation from vendors, but that's probably where regulatory hurdles would come in.Looking further ahead, it might be possible to use a shunt and combine spectroscopic or diffraction based glucose sensing with insulin delivery. That would get around some of the challenges with enzyme base CGMs and testing and reduce the need (and cost) for consumables in the sensing side.</blockquote>
