This would be an amazing 40th birthday gift if the FDA gets their shit together. I've been waiting since 1984....

    You have type 1 diabetes 2-feign?
    That is absolutely incredible! I wonder if some kind of artificial liver is next??? That would also be insanely amazing.

    I work with someone who has type 1 diabetes and she was super excited hearing about this. She already wears an insulin pump so another gadget doesn't sound like any big deal, if it can produce those kinds of results.

    Hopefully you can get yourself one of these things! ... and that it well covered under your healthcare plan. :prayer:
    I am always on the lookout for massive medical advancements like this.Unfortunately, they seem so few and far between, but they're always exciting to see when they do happen.

    I was talking to someone yesterday who's going for his second pancreas transplant in an attempt to cure his type 1 diabetes. My mum and friend are both Type 1 but I can't see us attempting that in Ireland
