This system is available in US as the Mini-med paradigm insulin pump system. It has a continuous glucose monitor that communicates with the pump. The FDA only allows the system to suggest an insulin dose. The patient still has to push the buttons for the insulin to be released. There are many Type 1 adults who will also benefit from this advance. Problem is the insurance companies are balking at paying for the system with the continuous glucose monitoring. They feel that pricking your finger ten times a day isn't fun but the cost vs benefit has yet to be shown.

My Father-in-Law wears the insulin pump system.
He has had the disease for 30 years only been wearing the pump for 3

Seems to help but his glucose is everywhere it can go from over 300 to 36 in a half hour.
Basically its a mess for him and the family.
