Bigfoot (another artificial pancreas)

Let's see what you think! Link

Is it a cable pump?
Very nice, but a little surreal, right?

It is a cable pump and that calculates the dose of insulin you need ... I think it is a great advance.

What I like the most is the name ... already put, they could have called him Nessy:-D:-D:-D

Well, it would be the most!
Let's see if you don't stay in science fiction ..

They say that I would use the Dexcom to read the levels.The difference would not use the dexcom command, everything would be handled from an application in the mobile that would be connected by Bluetooth, it would also be communicated with a capillary reader by Bluetooth and directly fool the measurement without having to type it for the administration of the bolus.

What I have most doubts is that or improve the batteries of the mobiles or the mobile does not endure one day communicating by Bluetooth.

Anyway I like the idea, they are expected to take it out in 2018 and this year 2016 they would start trying in people under strong supervision

Reideing you I think that to have diabetes you have to be rich and expert in new technologies:-D:-D:-D

I like the idea, although with my evil English that of without cables I did not understand it anywhere haha ​​as I would go then?
Likewise, the only thing I do not see is that with a logarithm they think that everything would be done, I do not know ... sometimes not everything is a matter of doing numbers with HC, insulin, exercise ... I do not know if I explain myself !!

And it's not just that, there is also a continuous glucose meter that tells you at every moment how are you, the calculation is to determine in every minute what you may need, and the result is not 100% exact nothing happens, because the next minuteCalculate and correct the problem.

And you have to aspire to be a kind of Ciborg, full of chips, devices and cables inserted in the body.

I pass.

That is exaggerating a lot, there are no cables or inserted chips for the whole body!

There are no external cables but as in the normal pumps, the pump cannula, which is still a tube, if it is stuck in the body, just like the Dexcom sensor needle.In addition, the device where the pump is involved, which instead of being hanging from a cable away from the body, to avoid the external cable I imagine that all the apparatus well attached to the body must be.

No, thanks.

That is, the Omnipod much better without cables, but to see if they bring it to Spain because here we do not reach us all technology.

I like to wear it attached to the body with a cable, because I do not forget anywhere.

The Dexcom G5 is going to go to the market this spring.

That if the transmitters cost 340 euros each and one is needed every 3 months, the sensors must be added.
In short, not available to many.
