Fully Closed Loop - First commercial system announced

See announcement below.

While this will still need FDA and UK approval, it shows that pump manufacturers are progressing to a 'hands-off' (ok semi hands off) artificial pancreas.

I imagine the other HCL Loop companies will be following suit soon with their own announcments.

That's a good step forward for all of us that want a less involved T1 existence.

Hi
We have an IT bod at work and his son is trialing a new cam where there is insulin and glycogen and it does everything itself.
I will click on the link later as the firewall on my work computer will not let me.lol
I am guessing the camaps thing is what he is trialing.
Whilst i am a dinosaur on MDI i find it all v exciting.

If you're happy - stick with what you like and is best for you. It's a lot of work to transfer from one regime to another - the stuff I do would be daunting to try and start for a new T1 - but the benefits I have are worth it for me.

It also helps I'm an IT hacker - I used to be diabetes risk and change averse, but after a few bad times knew I needed change, and its grown slowly from there over years.

In theory we should end up with a FCL being entirely hands off. Just connect it up and it works after sampling info for a week or so.

The next step in DIY loops is for AI to study the ISF and BG data etc and recommend improvements and settings, so its a step towards an intelligent system - I guess we are a few years off that, but its still a light at the end of a very dark T1 tunnel
