Tiny Disposable Insulin Pump
Debiotech has recently announced that they have found a manufacturing partner for their disposable, tiny insulin pump. The pump itself is great- about one quarter the size of the standard Minimed pump that is on the market now. This new one uses MEM’s technology and can deliver very precise amounts of insulin.
I am pretty excited about this as it could fit right onto the skin and would be concealable under the clothing. Carrying around the insulin pump makes me feel more like a cyborg than anything else and gets in the way when I try to do certain things. Insulin pumps are pretty necessary however as continuous glucose infusion just offers much better control than injections.
The Debiotech website has more information about the Nanopump as I believe it is called.
