A pioneering artificial pancreas has been hailed a success after the first long-term test in patients.
The Cambridge University device improved the amount of time patients spent overnight with healthy blood sugar levels by 13.5 per cent.
A group of 24 adults with Type 1 diabetes used the machine each night for four weeks in their homes – the first time in the world such a device has been used for more than a few days without medical supervision.
