Title: The Long Journey to an Artificial Pancreas.
Authors: Arnold, Carrie (AUTHOR)
Source: Scientific American. Nov2025, Vol. 333 Issue 4, pS6-S9. 4p. 2 Cartoon or Caricatures.
Subjects: Artificial pancreases, Type 1 diabetes, Drug approval, Glycemic control, United States. Food & Drug Administration, Insulin therapy, Systems availability, Automatic control systems
Abstract: The article focuses on advancements in technology aimed at transforming the management of type 1 diabetes, particularly through the development of an artificial pancreas. Edward Damiano, a bioengineer, co-founded Beta Bionics to create the iLet device, an adaptive closed-loop system approved by the FDA in May 2023, which simplifies insulin delivery by requiring only the user's body weight for operation. The article discusses the challenges faced by individuals managing diabetes and highlights the potential of automated systems to improve glycemic control, especially for those who have struggled with traditional methods. Despite the promise of these technologies, issues of accessibility and the need for further advancements remain critical concerns in the field. [Extracted from the article]
