A team of researchers might have found a way to let diabetics focus on their everyday lives instead of pumps and needles. They’ve successfully tested an artificial pancreas system that uses an algorithm on a smartphone to automatically deliver appropriate levels of insulin. The mobile software tells the ‘organ’ (an insulin pump and glucose monitor) to regulate glucose levels based on criteria like activity, meals and sleep, and it refines its insulin control over time by learning from daily circles.
