Implantable device could enable injection-free control of diabetes

QuoteOne promising approach to treating Type 1 diabetes is implanting pancreatic islet cells that can produce insulin when needed, which can free patients from giving themselves frequent insulin injections. However, one major obstacle to this approach is that once the cells are implanted, they eventually run out of oxygen and stop producing insulin.

To overcome that hurdle, MIT engineers have designed a new implantable device that not only carries hundreds of thousands of insulin-producing islet cells, but also has its own on-board oxygen factory, which generates oxygen by splitting water vapor found in the body.

Earlier today after install in the afternoon, I got: Download of 9.65Mbps and Upload of 8.12Mbps. They say 3 Down and 10 Up but I guess it varies at different times of the day. Just did the test again and got Down - 3.15 and Up - 9.95.
