Guys , don ' t build decks around legendaries only . You need the fitting rares and superrares . <| sep |> Not a diabetic , but with regards to 2 , I think that a closed loop artificial pancreas will be an absolute game changer . My group uses a form of AI to control to a range , and the results are pretty unbelievable . Did you know that good glucose control can reduce the effects of a sepsis infection ? Not mask them , but actually improve the condition of the patient , all by controlling sugar . I think that , short of a cure , the end game for diabetes care is an embedded system that lives in the peritoneal space and samplesinfuses directly into the blood . No more subcu delays , and if you have insulin and glucagon you could just top it off every 6 months at a minor outpatient procedure . currently under peer review , take with a boatload of salt . Things that stand in the way of such a device Biofilming over time the infusion and sensor ports will get gunked up due to the body ' s immune response . Stable glucagon at body temperature for months . Long term sensor . Glucose oxidase is out , it gets spent too quickly . There are some promising results in microfluidics and optical detection , but it ' s still too new to say . Infusion system . Microdialysis membranes seem the clear victor here , but you would need a power source to clean them . Power will be an issue in such a small package , though you could use some sort of inductive charging . Reliability to a fault . Such a device may have thousands of units of insulin on board in a highly concentrated form , so it must be reliable in the long term . So yes , to echo many , only five more years ! But I do think we get closer every day .
