[QUOTE="Jen&Khaleb, post: 45950, member: 13077"] My son is Type 1 (aged 2) and had diabetes since he was 8 months old. It is a constant balancing act between carbohydrate, insulin, activity, stress and growth to keep him with reasonable blood glucose levels. His long acting insulin (Levemir) does have the effect of peaking greater amounts of insulin at different times of the day. Hopefully this coincides with his meals where he will also get a bolus of fast acting insulin (Novorapid). Your system sounds interesting but I think the risk of a severe hypo would be high. I have often thought that an implant would be a great idea as a long acting insulin but you would need to be able to have some sort of control in case of illness. For some strange reason bodies just don't run at a steady pace all the time, no matter how you control your diet. I hope many people keep thinking of ways to improve the management of diabetes just in case a cure is further off than we envisage. I hope you send in a summary of your dissertation for us to read.
