I summarize the act in which we were yesterday at the University Hospital of Mùnich.And in which, in addition, of a lot of technical information my husband came out with a job offer and everything.The speaker an Endocrine, a diabetes specialist, chemical and director of a diabetological experimentation group argued that the maximum period of 10 years would be put for sale the first really reliable systems.Thanks to continuous measurement systems, researchers have such a amount of data that make it feasible that with an algorithms chain a machine can give a satisfactory response not only to hyper but also hypoglycemia.The difficulties in achieving the permits for human research are being supplied with the computer simulation and very good results are being achieved.
On the other hand, new ultra -grants are expected capable of responding to our needs almost at the same time that healthy people do.Continuous measurement systems have been demonstrated as the most practical instrument for diabetes control and, in most cases, saving social security money.The sensors will drop in price and last longer.This, without giving concrete dates, clarified it as imminent.
What we can forget is of beta cell implantation techniques and their regeneration.Here little is being investigated and is little more than science fiction.The healing of diabetes is not close.
As a point of optimism, it gave us a series of statistics in which the quality, life expectancy and side effects were compared in patients in which there was almost no differentiation between healthy and diabetic people type 1.
If someone intends to work in a research team are looking for continuing and for different working groups computer engineers, simulation specialists, mathematicians, and developers in the field of artificial intelligence.They could gladly pass the mail with the contact person by private message.
Harabita, I would be very interested.In the short term if it were from Spain perfect, although perhaps within a year it returns to Germany.My problem, the language.In English I defend myself, in German ... well, on Friday I start the B1 in Spain ... but I am not able to maintain a conversation, I am just to make the purchase: P If you can keep me informed about the work I would be delighted, I think my email has passed you a few months ago, but I have it again send it to you ...
Thank you very much for the information. And how do hypos solve?Glucagon?
The improvement of sensor prices ... is the fish that bites the tail. If there are no more users there are no price drop, but there is a price drop there are no more users.
In my opinion the cure of diabetes will come as a result of the discovery of its origin. I have said it several times, when the proteom is known and its relationship with the genome ... Our disease will open a window to optimism.
Meanwhile, I hope to see a continuous non -invasive, reliable and cheap meter.
Owash.Yes, the artifact would have the glucagon.I feel not to remember the name of the substance that would be used to improve the performance of the sensors but it seems that the novelty would come soon.
On the continuous non -invasive meter .. for now, it is a chimera.It was one of the questions that were asked from the public.
Thank you very much for the first -hand information.
Regarding collaboration, I would be interested in volunteering for any type of tests in Spain, I have the possibility of traveling fenderly and availability of dates if necessary.
I am type 1 diabetic since the age of 18 (20), I go with Lantus+Novorapid and traditional meter.
I have a degree in chemicals (I have never exercised), so I have a lot of capacity to understand the metabolic routes.
I know that it is not much, but there I leave my will to collaborate without a profit.
I lend myself with guinea pig, but if the thing works, I take it home haha, no, seriously I don't have many studies but ... For that, it is not very missing, isn't it?I can travel in Spain wherever it is but ,, Germany I don't hesitate that I later come back
Thanks Haribita, you have given me many spirits, my little one is six years old, to see if it is true and the "almost" pancreas artificial in adolescence is caught. Owash, I always see you very worried about invasive sensors, I have no experience with the Dexcom but the Enlite sensors are very fine, the form of insertion is like that of the cateters, we put it to the child and not even find out,I already told you our experience with the previous ones who were horrific but in that sense they have improved a lot.The only downside that I still put is the design, in that aspect it is more functional Dexcom, well and the reliability, there I think they all click a little ... but little: Mrgreen: that I am very very very fan. I would love to be able to help, but I have none of the professions they require, I only have experience with the current continuous measurement systems, if it serves something I am at your disposal.
Mornita is that you ask .... I prefer not to be invasive. What I have seen and explained to me halfway to me, from the sensor I mean. In my particular case, I do not think I squeezed what corresponds and right now I am not in great disposition to spend good monthly money. In the case of children, I would not hesitate, I would put the sensor yes or yes.
