Diabetes Connections With Stacey Simms | Type 1 Diabetes |

We are very excited to catch up with the folks from Beta Bionics! Their fully automated bionic pancreas is called the iLet. They are getting closer to submitting to the US FDA and were able to give us an update on some of the most anticipated features. Kate Farnsworth is a consultant for Beta Bionics currently acting as Digital Marketing and Communications Manager. She walks us through what makes the iLet a very different insulin pump, including: a system that only needs the user's weight (no basal rates or carb ratios), software that will learn from the user and make adjustments, how the system charges, waterproof status and much more. All dependent on FDA approval. Kate's daughter was diagnosed at age 8 and we first spoke in July of 2015 about Nightscout.  Past episode with Beta Bionics: Ed Damiano in April 2016 Ed Damiano in May 2017 This podcast is not intended as medical advice.
