While a very interesting story, "artificial pancreas" seems a bit sensationalized.

"Alabamian automates insulin pump" might be a more accurate title

Yeah, my wife has diabetes Type II and the cost of insulin is what weighs on us. When I first read the headline, I thought the artificial pancreas made insulin and that got me excited.

I want a kitchen counter sized object that makes insulin cheaply and safely. Then we can take advantage of the artificial pancreas for her.
