Technology Brings Insulin Pump Closer to Artificial Pancreas Functionality

[Northerner]

Medtronic received the go-ahead to begin an at-home U.S. trial of its Low Glucose Suspend technology that aims to prevent hypoglycemia by automatically stopping basal insulin delivery when measured glucose reaches a critically low level.

The pump technology is already available in Europe on the company?s Paradigm Veo insulin pump

Is this what they tried with the kiddies in one of the Oxford hospitals, keeping them in overnight, then repeated with adults?

Anyone know?

I'd be a tad concerned if they recommenced my insulin at 3.4 .... LOL
