NIH Announces Major Artificial Pancreas Clinical Trials

[Northerner]

Four major research studies will soon be under way to test and refine the newly developed artificial pancreas system, thanks to nearly $41 million in grant funding, according to a press release from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The artificial pancreas, a closed-loop system intended to replace fingerstick testing and continuous glucose monitoring systems in patients with type 1 diabetes, has not yet received regulatory approval. According to the press release, the studies are "designed to be the potential last steps between testing the fully automated devices and requesting regulatory approval for permanent use." The studies will be funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.

Fink you might all need to move to Trumpoland first, though to be considered. That's enough to put me right off the idea right now, frankly LOL

Lol at Trumpoland! Currently the USA is referred to Trumpton in our house, albeit a dystopian version to the one I watched as a child.
