Beta Bionics | Introducing the iLet

At Beta Bionics, Inc., we are developing a bionic pancreas system called the iLet. Our first commitment is to the type 1 diabetes (T1D) community.

Earlier today I posted about the new Medtronic system. I wanted to shed some light on a product that I have been following for years now. The Bionic Pancreas. This technology and the people that stand behind it are the most innovative I have read about since being diagnosed with diabetes. Diabetes is something I live with but as a result it has become an obsession. Obsessing with knowing what new technology comes out daily, what information they have found on the disease, and obsessing about how to live a long life with the disease. 

Check this website out if you haven’t heard about the iLet yet. Both the devices I wrote about today give hope that there will be a day I eat a chocolate glazed donut and don’t think twice!

Yesterday, on the 11-year anniversary of my mom passing, I got a manicure (since Sally loved them and would be so proud that I finally stopped biting my nails). While drying, spotted Bostonia magazine cover story on a dad who's trying to build a bionic pancreas for his diabetic son. Wonder if this could help patients with pancreatic cancer, too. Either way, thanks for saying hi, Mom : )
