Thoughts on Testing an Artificial Pancreas : DiabetesMine: the all things diabetes blog

Kyle Rose is a former Team Type 1 cyclist and business development director for that group. He is now living in France, where he founded a consultancy called Delta PM Diabetes, focusing on chronic disease management in health care. Mainly, he advises companies in the diabetes management business on campaigns for products including insulin, drug delivery devices, and glucometers, as well as non-profit collaboration initiatives and medical/patient community outreach.

But recently, Kyle got the historical chance to be part of one of the first-ever trials of an artificial pancreas system outside of a clinical setting

When I was diagnosed 25 years ago, pen-fills was the most exciting thing to happen to diabetics. Now we almost think of pumps as old hat. Im really happy to hear news like this and although I dont think its the big cure we are all after, I hope its a step in the right direction
