I was involved with a prototype 20 years ago that never passed the FDA. The problem isn’t the algorithm so much as the individuals reaction to insulin types. Also our prototype could only hold one type of insulin so that limited the types of spikes it could handle.
Not a true Artificial Pancreas as an improved insulin pump. It doesnt do anything for digestion or any other functions a normal pancreas does.
You will see the Hollywood types be the first for this and abuse it for vanity sake. They are already gobbling up other meds for diabetics just to keep a few pound off, meanwhile the working class has to pay higher prices because of the high demand, if they can find it and the pharmacy has it in stock.
Here is an open source project dedicated to the same effort:

“The device combines an off-the-shelf glucose monitor and insulin pump with an app..”. To call this an artificial pancrease is a misnomer IMHO.
Type 2 diabetes — most nefarious disease on earth.
