Doctors make progress toward 'artificial pancreas'

7. This is all good

However the artificial pancreas cannot handle the emergency glucose shot that we call big red. Go too low, it'll reject it and its and important shot. My daughter has been type 1 for almost 7 yrs. still itchy on putting her on the pump. She cannot manage her self on her own, and is almost 16. Her Endo wants her A1C around 7 before even considering the pump.

I've read so many malfunctions with the pump. People going into DKA because of a bad site, and going into diabetic low coma, where the pump administers to much insulin. I like the shots better.
