Note that as with every insulin-pump system, it still has two major pain points:
- subcutaneous insulin doesn't act immediately, as it would if it was injected in the blood directly. it peaks in an hour and then wanes off at 3-4 hours.
- it cannot know external factors like how much carbohydrates you are eating, or if you are planning to work out, etc. Like conventional pumps you have to enter it manually.
Buying a sandwich and not having to think about carb grams and predosing at all sounds like a dream to me.
