Expense

Being a diabetic with 2 diabetic children keeps us all busy--and financially challenged. What is the projected cost of an artificial pancreas? (The 3 of us use syringes because pumps are out of our pocketbooks.)

I would like to know more about under skin sensors and associated reading devices.In process control technology you can always achieve target set point (in diabetes control say 110 mg/dL) using PID (integral and derivative control)

Iam a diabetic patient using insulin.Also control system engr for more than 10 years.Would like to help out in this research.

Aritificial Pancreas

My son was diag. at age 16 and is 17 now. He plays football on both sides of line. He had 111 tackles last year. His health is great and his a1c is around 6. His sugars are under control. Think he may still be producing insulin. Could he be of help in this research. We want to find a way to help in this research. Please email me back.

great idea!

I've been a type 1 for over fifty years and still haven't had success with keeping blood sugars under control and would like to be a part of this study. Please e-mail me. Thank you.

Hope for the Future

Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Kovatchev for your diligence in your Artificial Pancreas project. Please know that your efforts are truly appreciated by me and my family.

My daughter was diagnosed just last year at age 10 with Type 1 diabetes. Watching her struggle to get a handle on monitoring a disease that requires constant attention has been heartbreaking at times. Knowing that there are researchers like you working to improve the quality of her life, as well as many others, is certainly a comfort.

Our hopes and prayers are with you!
