PATIENTS with type 1 diabetes
may soon be free of injections
of insulin with the arrival of
an effective artificial pancreas,

from researchers publishing in
Diabetologia.
Frequent finger pricks will also

devices are able to immediately

individual needs more accurately
than ever before, leading authors
to predict their availability within
around 12 months.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 05 Jul 16 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 05 Jul 16
