This is really exciting. Artificial pancreas for kids developed at UVA. Yay our guys! It’s been a long time coming, but maybe finally ready for prime time!

Would it work on now-adults who have treated type 1 their entire lives?

Well, the whole idea is a glucose monitor and insulin pump that talk to each other, so I would think so? But this came out of the peds department, and focused on peds patients, so not certain.

What I have now is pretty close. I just have to bolus for carbs, and the CGM+pump takes care of the rest.

Are we at all worried about the viruses mutating back around at us?

Not really, though. We haven’t changed the virus, just selected out bacteriophages that prey on the specific bugs we want to eliminate. These guys have been in a take-no-prisoners war for literally billions of years. We are barely a blink in the face of that. Bacteriophages are very specific, and have no interest in eukaryotic cells of any sort. We have our own viruses that think we are delicious.
