Following new government guidance, the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) has plans to roll out automated insulin delivery systems. Last month, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) issued guidance supporting automated insulin delivery for type 1 diabetes. NICE published guidance recommending hybrid closed-loop systems for eligible people with type 1 diabetes in […]

NICE recommends automated insulin delivery tech rollout in UK, Medtronic, Dexcom applaud
An independent committee of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) voiced support for closed-loop insulin delivery. The UK-based institute recommended offering automated insulin delivery (AID) for people whose type 1 diabetes is not controlled with their current device despite best possible management with an insulin pump or real-time or intermittently scanned continuous […]
Researchers reverse diabetes in mice using nanoscale device
Scientists at Washington University (St. Louis) and Cornell University (Ithaca, N.Y.) successfully implanted insulin-secreting cells in mice with type 1 diabetes. The cells proved capable of reversing chemically-induced diabetes for up to 200 days after implantation, according to a recent article in Science Translational Medicine. To do so, they used a nanofiber-integrated cell encapsulation (NICE) device […]
