In another step forward for the artificial pancreas, researchers in the U.S. have performed the first successful clinical trial using the device along with fast-acting inhaled insulin to enhance insulin intake during mealtimes for patients with Type 1 diabetes.
The Sansum Diabetes Research Institute teamed up with the College of Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to study the effects of using inhaled insulin to help accommodate meals in addition to treatment with an artificial pancreas. The artificial pancreas combines an insulin pump with a continuous glucose monitor for closed-loop delivery, much like a healthy pancreas, but current iterations of the device don't provide the burst of insulin needed at mealtimes.

Nope, still don't want inhaled insulin!
