'Bionic pancreas' could make life easier for people with type 1 diabetes nejm
The past several years have seen even bigger strides, with the approval of several so-calledThose devices—sometimes called"artificial pancreas" systems—integrate the insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor into one system. The middle-man is athat analyzes the monitor's glucose readings and automatically adjusts the pump's insulin doses.
"Technology really has moved forward in recent years," said Dr. Steven Russell, the lead researcher on the new trial. To get the right insulin dose before mealtime, for example, users have to count the grams of carbohydrates they'll be eating, and make adjustments to the insulin dose.Like available systems, the device integrates an insulin pump and glucose monitor. But the algorithms mean there's no carb-counting; users simply enter which meal they're eating , and then whether they are eating their"usual" amount, more or less.
If approved, the device might make such automated insulin therapy more widely available, Russell and Sherr said.

Loneliness increases the risk of type 2 diabetes: a 20 year follow-up – results from the HUNT study - DiabetologiaAims/hypothesis Type 2 diabetes is one of the leading causes of death globally and its incidence has increased dramatically over the last two decades. Recent research suggests that loneliness is a possible risk factor for type 2 diabetes. This 20 year follow-up study examined whether loneliness is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. As both loneliness and type 2 diabetes have been linked to depression and sleep problems, we also investigated whether any association between loneliness and type 2 diabetes is mediated by symptoms of depression and insomnia. Methods We used data from the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT study), a large longitudinal health study based on a population from central Norway (n=24,024). Self-reports of loneliness (HUNT2 survey, 1995–1997) and data on HbA1c levels (HUNT4 survey, 2017–2019) were analysed to evaluate the associations between loneliness and incidence of type 2 diabetes. Associations were reported as ORs with 95% CIs, adjusted for sex, age and education. We further investigated the role of depression and insomnia as potential mediating factors. Results During the 20 year follow-up period, 4.9% of the study participants developed type 2 diabetes. Various degrees of feeling lonely were reported by 12.6% of the participants. Individuals who felt most lonely had a twofold higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes relative to those who did not feel lonely (adjusted OR 2.19 [95% CI 1.16, 4.15]). The effect of loneliness on type 2 diabetes was weakly mediated by one subtype of insomnia but not by symptoms of depression. Conclusions/interpretation This study suggests that loneliness may be one factor that increases the risk of type 2 diabetes; however, there is no strong support that the effect of loneliness on type 2 diabetes is mediated by depression or insomnia. We recommend that loneliness should be included in clinical guidelines on consultations and interventions related to type 2 diabetes. Graphical abstract
