Results are in on initial one-day overnight trials of an artificial pancreas and they sound promising:

Quote:

researchers found that nearly 100 percent of all overnight data from the closed-loop sessions were within the target range of 70 to 180 mg/dl, and the time patients spent with blood glucose levels falling within the narrower 70 to 140 mg/dl range increased from 65 percent to 78 percent from open-loop to closed-loop control.

As expected, this sounds like it's an automatically-controlled insulin pump, which I find slightly disappointing, as I'm not personally that keen on pumping, but it's good progress regardless. If it were available today, I'd seriously consider getting one.
