Insulin pump detects overnight hypoglycemia, shuts off automatically

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-06-22/medtronic-insulin-pump-cuts-deadly-night-blood-sugar-lows.html

Medtronic has designed an insulin pump that temporarily shuts off when blood sugar levels fall too low—a key advance in the effort to fully automate the delivery of insulin in diabetes patients.  Current technology allows people who use insulin pumps to wear a sensor that measures the amount of blood sugar in the body, which helps them program pumps to deliver the appropriate amount of insulin. Researchers have been trying to link the two technologies in order to automate insulin delivery, to create what has been referred to as an artificial pancreas.

    The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and
    tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
    My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to
    share it with someone!

    Greetings! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to
    make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when viewing from my apple
    iphone. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able
    to correct this problem. If you have any recommendations,
    please share. Thank you!

    You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation
    but I find this matter to be really something that I think
    I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
    I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll
    try to get the hang of it!

    I don’t create many comments, however I looked
    through some comments on this page Insulin pump detects overnight hypoglycemia, shuts off automatically | ApplySci DISCOVERIES.
    I do have a few questions for you if you do not mind. Is
    it only me or do a few of the responses look
    as if they are left by brain dead folks? 😛 And, if
    you are writing at other online sites, I’d like to keep up with you.
    Could you post a list of the complete urls of your public pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook
    page or twitter feed?
