An artificial pancreas may change the lives of type 1 diabetics. Researchers from the Cleveland Clinic compared the conventional insulin pump it to an artificial pancreas for the first time, and found artificial is the way to go.
"I think what we can say is that the artificial pancreas is definitely better than the conventional insulin pump," Dr. Betul Hatipoglu, an endocrinologist at Cleveland Clinic who was not involved in the study, told Live Science. "There is no question about it." The artificial pancreas is needed "immediately" in clinical practice, Hatipoglu said.

Erm...we'll still need insulin won't we? Or will the artificial pancreas come with an artificial body and brain?
