What do you think about the artificial pancreas project? Poll dates: January 13 - 20, 2010 Total Votes: 293 On January 13, 2010, the JDRF announced a partnership with Animas Corporation to develop a closed-loop artificial pancreas -- a major advancement in the treatment of type 1 diabetes. We asked CWD readers what they thought about this announcement. Based on this unscientific poll, CWD families strongly support the artificial pancreas project. Just over 50% fully support it, and another 22% support it but worry that this project will take resources away from cure-related research. Dr. Aaron Kowalski, the research director for JDRF's Artificial Pancreas Project, addressed these concerns in personal post in the CWD Forums. For additional information, see: JDRF Forms Partnership with Animas to Develop First-Generation Automated System for Managing Type 1 Diabetes. Is a "closed-loop" CGM and Pump a Cure? from the CWD Forums JDRF, Animas & Dexcom Artificial Pancreas development Pact from the CWD Forums JDRF, Animas, and Dexcom Walk Into a Bar: Not a Diabetes Joke - An Artificial Pancreas. NEWS FLASH: JDRF Joins with Animas & DexCom to Build "First-Generation" Artificial Pancreas. Note that a significant number of obviously duplicated votes were removed. [Return to the current poll]
