Apparently what they did was link a CGMS (Continuous Glucose Monitoring System) with an Insulin Pump. It constantly “reads” blood glucose and adjusts the pump to keep stable levels.

Thanks for the clarification — but that’s what Minimed has been doing for years. The Minimed product is based around such a continuous glucose monitor (developed, by the way, as part of the Viking program by NASA). So what makes this “new” product so much better?
