I believe there will be a non-invasive continuous monitor within ten years. There will be islet transplants without immunosuppression drugs or with minimal safe immunosuppresants. There will be an AP type of pump.... at least one that will turn off for lows and possibly give insulin when BS rises above a certain target, minimizing highs. There may be Smart Insulin or much better insulins. And, maybe, just maybe.... one of the cures being investigated will pan out sooner rather than later. But the main thing is: I believe at least the very young ones, will have a lot of the burden lifted from them with these better tools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370109946854261159.post-60773938503723077372010-12-09T05:06:08.637-06:002010-12-09T05:06:08.637-06:00Gosh Tracy, I was hoping for a closed loop system ...Gosh Tracy, I was hoping for a closed loop system for the college years...or smart insulin.

It is VERY enlightening! Good luck at the pump classes!<br /><br />PS My boys honestly used to twirl their pumps around like a lasso.
