Not So Sweet

摘要

I found the winter issue of Distillations to be, as usual, full of excellent articles. "Sickening Sweet" (Winter 2015, p. 12) was an interesting and informative account of diabetes research and treatment. I regret that no mention was made, perhaps because of space limitations, of the use of insulin pumps, which have been around for several years and are of great assistance in maintaining healthy blood-sugar levels. Also, no mention was made of the intense efforts to develop an artificial pancreas.
