Unfortunately, they are used by a minority of ppl who cld benefit from them.'

'In addition to the challenges of getting hybrid #AID systems, they still require setups. They still require the user to #carbcount for meals & initiate correction boluses.'

'The 13 wks #IletBionicPancreas pivotal trial results will be published by end Sept.' -Steven Russell

✅ 26% minority population
⬆️ +16% #TIR
⬇️ -0.5% #A1c

'Similar results with #ControlIQ studies whereas the #IletBionicPancreas doesn't require carb counting and insulin parameters.' -Steven Russell

It looks promising ✨

2 faster insulins #Fiasp & #Lyumjev have:
✅ 15-25min shortened time of peak
⬇️ postprandial #BG
⬇️ mean #BG
↔️ #TIR

'With faster insulin, we can clamp the #BG within a very narrow range.' 👇
-Steven Russell

✅ Mean BG in #T1D group: 107mg
✅ Range: 96-128mg
✅ #TIR: 98%
✅ No hypo

'Glucagon could take us further.
2 hormones are missing in #T1D:
❌ #insulin beta cells
❌ #glucagon alpha cells are there but no longer respond to hypo.'

'#glucagon is the most important defence against #hypo ➡️ automatic microdosing of glucagon may prevent severity of hypo as it is absorbed much faster than #insulin.' -Steven Russell

Betting for the next best thing in digital #diabetes technology:

7-day #IletBionicPancreas study:
Insulin only ▶️ 72% #TIR
Bi-hormonal ▶️ 79% #TIR & less hypo

'We now have a stable #glucagon analog: Zegalogue (Dasiglucagon).'
