Research efforts to develop artificial pancreas to allow diabetics to have greater control over their blood sugar levels is proceeding apace.

This technology is viewed as a temporary solution, while researchers are still hunting for a biological solution for diabetes.
Aaron Kowalski, research director of the JDRF's Artificial Pancreas Project, said as much, "This will help keep people healthy while we drive toward a biological approach, which will take longer.”
The advances in this technology were detailed in a symposium co-sponsored by the American Diabetes Association and the JDRF at the ADA annual meeting on Sunday.
