This has huge potential for us as a way of quickly making styleguides reducing both development time and designer QA time.

There are some important things missing, as far as I can tell though, like ... how do I make a list?

I must say I recently was testing the new Enlite medtronic sensors and found them far more accurate than the older ones whatever they were called (I gave up on those quickly). Can't compare directly to dexcom but that's good to know!

I asked their twitter about it and got this: https://twitter.com/thedamon/status/384420935685910529

Still think 'artificial pancreas technology' is an overstatement. Though Singularity hub is also guilty of writing a ridiculous article esp with that headline.

Edit: great write-up, Scott!

OK.. What is going on here:

This is an incremental improvement in Medtronic's continuous glucose monitoring system/insulin pump combination therapy that has been available for 5+ years already.

Medtronic is touting this as 'artificial pancreas technology' (not specifically an artificial pancreas) because it has a feature now in the US where the pump can turn off if your blood sugar drops below a certain patient set threshold. This has been available for years already outside the US.

This is most definitely not an artificial pancreas..

Ugh.. Sensationalist headline of the day.

Article headline: we have an artificial pancreas

Article body: we do not have an artificial pancreas. we have a new pump with some incremental feature improvements over our last model.
