there is NO viable 'artifical pancreas' as such, in existance today

there has been much talk of this happening, in the last 9 or 10 years or 
more, but nothing has come of it

they are making very smart pumps today, and WE still have the final say 
on how much insulin the pump will deliver, and WE are the 'micro 
computer' that guides the pump :)
