Automated 'Artificial Pancreas' Controls Blood Glucose Levels In Diabetes Patients For First Time
UC Santa Barbara and Sansum Diabetes Research Institute scientists have demonstrated for the first time that an automated artificial pancreas system (APS) can safely and effectively maintain desired blood glucose levels in patients with type 1 diabetes. The clinical study results will be presented today in a late-breaking poster session(1) at the American Diabetes Association's 69th Scientific Sessions in New Orleans.
