Besides the “artificial pancreas,” are there any other devices or technologies you’re excited about in diabetes management?
Yes, we’re trying to design devices to deal with mundane tasks of diabetes.

There are probably many other things out there that’s going to make your life easier, like some simple tools like smart phone apps. None of my patients are using log books and pencils, if I give them a pen and a log book they just show me all of the apps on their phone. Those simple things are actually becoming a part of our lives and as we use them more and more, there are going to be more sophisticated systems and devices. Some of them may be developed by our patients and now we have that technology as well.
