"We CANNOT, we MUST NOT get that phone call"... Sir, you are a true hero for all the diabetics all around the world... You have not done any less than what Fredrick Banting did so many years ago... I take my hat off for you and raise my glass high for your project... I have been a diabetic for the past 15 years and every moment in my life is filled with worries about my BG level... Watching this video brought tears to my eyes... This is the first time I have some hope for an easier and less stressful life.... I will begin raising awareness about bionic pancreas as much as I can... People like you must not stand alone to invent such life-changing technologies... You need to be financially and technically supported by governments from all arund the world... God bless you Edward Damiano... You are a true hero....

I really do hope for a cure.been diagnosed when I was only 2 now I’m 15. I really don’t wanna suffer with this disease no more and I’m sure no one else wants it to

Thank you! Thank you from my dad, my 22 years old daughter, my two nephews in their 30’s, and my 10 year old niece and all T1ds. Sitting here in the very early morning watching a low after treating a high - for my T1d daughter.

I've been type 1 for 40 years, pumping for 16. Dr. Damiano is spot on talking about how pumpers work hard to get their numbers, erratic as they may be. So many people think you just plug in and forget about it. Not even close! It is a 24/7 job.

It is clear that Ed Damiano has created a tremendously important managing device for those with Type I diabetes, and to do it largely on his own, not only for his son but for many, many others is inspiring to say the least.

Wow, this would change my life. I have been type 1 for 28 years and have spent many years trying to control my sugar through shots (5 a day for many years) and the last 15 or so with a pump. This would be life changing for many diabetics and parents of children with diabetes. I only hope that it is affordable to those of us who need it.

I can’t wait for this to be available to the public in 20 years for the low low price of your soul!

Hard not to tear up listening to parts of this. This would change my entire life. Life changing is an overused phrase but in this case there is no phrase more appropriate.

As a type 1 as well I agree with you. This would be life altering in the best way possible. I am litterally amazed that perhaps I may be able to live with a cure or as close to it as possible.

This has truly changed my 3 daughters with type 1 diabetes lives... It allowed my daughter to have a baby, her and the baby (Baby Alex) both survived!! Without it baby Alex wouldn’t of survived and my daughter would most likely not of survived either.

I love his summary of the four major issues that the Bionic Pancreas solves. I CANNOT WAIT for this to be available.

Great work, excellent explanation, don't forget the present financial cost of managing is beyond many who need it. You and many are changing those limited systems as we wait for cure. I do not live for a cure, I live for the ability to finance what I need for good self management. I have 50 years of T1D and I work full time, and still can't vacation or travel because of the financials needed to be Well with diabetes, and I am! Tx.

Hope, breath, and gratitude. When is this avalible

The work that Ed Damiano and his group have done is incredible and I for one can not wait to take this technology for a spin! T1D for more than 18 years and in tight control through now almost 3 healthy pregnancies... and to be quite honest... only steps away from what we call diabetes burnout on more than a few occasions. This would be freedom for those of us with T1D, and would mean a return to our real selves for us and all those around us. Anxiously and patiently awaiting my first iLet.... and thankful for this genius group of dedicated parents and experts.

FANTASTIC! Brings tears to my eyes!

This creation sounds amazing and I’m sure will be very deeply appreciated by us who have T1D. I remember hearing in another video that this machine’s range will be 140. This blood glucose is high as according to the Dr.Bernstein who is a long time survivor of type 1 diabetes. He used to have the recommendation from the ADA and Endochronolgist’s standards on blood glucose,but complications that he was developing were continuing to develop until he found out how to achieve normal blood sugars (83 to around 95).He was able to reverse his complications after learning how to maintain normal glucose. He has information provided on KZread and in his book called Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution...

I agree it changed my life, I noticed bad health after I stop exercising and my HbA1c rose to 7.8. Followed his advice and guidelines and now I am at 5.1 a high non diabetic range. I can't believe how nobody ever talks about him in the diabetic community.

@@jdtown6585 Yes I believe they're paranoid about getting low blood sugars. Dr.Bernstein mentioned from his experience he barely got low blood sugars with such a small amount of insulin going in it would be impossible AND it would be more likely to crash low blood sugars with the varying instability of using regular insulin for carbs.

I don't believe it should be mandatory to go on this diet, but I do believe it should be an option.

Yes, the night time keeps happing to me and I live alone! yet GP says it's better to be high on sugars which to me is totally wrong too! At present, I have no GP no specialist and no medications due to my asking and complaining about the bad poor treatments to CCG. So for speaking up I'm punished more! I'm also called David and also know and understand every word you speak! I hope at some stage its available to us all Free! Thank you for your work and video!

This powerful message resonates with me and I'm sure with all of those parents that have a child with type 1.

Amazing! What this will do for my 7 year old son one day will change our lives! Thankyou Ed Damiano for getting up and doing something about it! We may not have our cure yet, but this is a very close alternative and we will take it! Sign us up! Can't wait!

Fantastic video, thank you for all you do for us type 1 diabetics. Can't wait to use this device!!!

Wow! Speechless! I love it!

Thank You ❤️

This is fantastic.

That is excellent!! Wow!

Thank you💖

So very exciting and wonderful that lives will be saved, "normal" and carefree. Do you think there will be a tubeless version in the future?

This was a so positive message, thank you

Amazing!

Wonderful!

wow, how does one go about trying to get one of these devices?

I am about to find out if I can get the Ilet any day now. So excited!

amazing

What a kind Dad, and trying to save the Diabetic World through his son.

How close are Dr. Damiano and his team to the release of the bionic pancreas? I would love to have this tool and hope it it affordable to those who will benefit from it. Eager to learn of a progress update.

A miracle has come. Just wonder how long it will take before it reaches South Africa and what the cost will be involved. I am Type 1 Diabetic for 28 years now injecting 4 times per day and I am 41 years old. I'm a single mom with 2 beautiful daughters age 14 and 12 and they have saved my life numerous times. I don't sleep at night because I'm scared I won't wake up and see them again. Please can I have more info regarding the bionic pancreas. That will change our lives forever.

Does anybody know when this will be available?

OMG I worry all day and everyday about my son. How do we get this device?? Please help us live again.

if you have money or good insurance maybe you can try this ? how can i try this if i’m really struggling financially and barely have insurance coverage

how much will it cost?

Its 2019 , updates how Do I buy this for my daughter?

The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that you need to have a (average sized) device attached to the outside of your body, 24x7. That's why I pray for the Biohub to become a reality. I also would be nice if this bionic pancreas can be shrinked to something much smaller, and maybe even put inside the body.

So how mainstream is it now?

When is available in UK?

Samia Saffer never :-( our NHS is funded by governments who care about 4 years at a time ... They don't care about reducing complications that'll happen in 10 or 20 years time. Our PM says she has T1D - if she really had it she would be fighting for this stuff - T2 on insulin isn't the same thing but now our government thinks we're all fine because the PM manages lol ... Maybe we need to get organized to protest against the appalling state of help available on the NHS?! :-( :-( :-( sorry for the rant - I know I'm preaching to the converted! xox

Would this work for type 2 diabetes????

I want to buy it for my little son please where?

My son almost died a few nights ago from BG level of 29 that crashed in his sleep. Please let me know how and where and when we can get this for him. PLEASE help us.

I don't appreciate the obfuscation of information.

Does bionic pancreas works with type 2 diabetes patients? Hope you can answer my question.

Where can I buy this?

Where can I purchase this device please??????

How can I contact you Dr Damiano

This is really exciting news for Type 1 diabetics! My 30-year-old niece was in a trial for this and said it was the best she has felt since she was diagnosed 23 years ago. She was so impressed she set up a gofundme account (www.gofundme.com/iLetBionicPancreas) for Boston University where the bionic pancreas is being developed. More money for research will bring this amazing device to market sooner. Please donate if you can and help get the word out.

Thank you. What is the cost?

If you go to their website and then FAQ, they mention that they don't have a price yet but it has good info

I cannot wait until the iLet comes out and that time is drawing near for its release. Every time they talk about diabetes on any show, commercial, or news on TV they "always" talk about type 2 diabetics...forgetting that we, type 1 diabetics are here....we exist. So I thank you for this innovation. Sine I was diagnosed 25 yrs ago, when doctors would blame me because my A1c's weren't perfect, I would have to remind them that I am human, not a pancreas. I cannot do what a pancreas does....it is impossible and you saw that. I saw on your website that the insulin only iLet should be out by mid-2020 and the dual-chamber iLet should (hopefully) be out by mid-2021 to 2022. I am on the edge of my seat. It would be nice to feel like a non-diabetic like I used to be until I was the hospital one night, shocked, 25 yrs ago...

the bionic pancreas might discriminate against how much money you got

SIR, WOULD You Possibly have a few moments to speak with me Sir? Names Joe ..had pancreatitis, long short ... I had a "TPAIT" AS OF TODAY IM DISABLED AND ON a tslim,G6 and I Differ way too much each day and for 6 years I've been trying EVERYTHING! Please reach out , bless Joe

10:26 What about amylin isn't that the sister hormone for insulin? Well I suppose the amylin might hamper the glucogan's speed in times of hypoglycemia, which are critical.

purification of insulin. Please explain.

So this sounds like the 670 close loop pump+ the dexcom g6

But one still has to count carbs and input those into the pump. A ways yet from what Mr. Daminano is describing.

Dear Edward, when God gave you the power to procreate he also gave you that power to protect your offspring. What you have shown us, is what we see when a father sees a lorry about to hit his son. He has this outflow of cortisol and adrenaline to stop a lorry. We are proud of your work. Now I see light at the end of the tunnel. Keep it up, don't give up. You are going to get a cure for all diabetic children. Just scratch your head more. Lucy

Like, if (perish the the thought) your pancreas gets (God forbid) hosed, there's hope. Thanks for sharing. Way to go, babe!

You spoke of how well these lows are handled. Does it also handle the issues of high blood sugars? Hyperglycemia? My son right now in ICU for DKA?

It is a tough job and it takes a lot of work. I know how frustrating it is. When all else fails, live a boring life for 10 -14 days and eat the same thing(s) at the same time. It will be really challenging, but if food and activity is kept the same it might be possible to find out what works for you. I'm no doctor, but it's something one of my doctors told me about. Doing this, and jotting down what you eat and when you eat it, might help a pattern be seen that you could show your health care provider and get better results. I would recommend avoiding high-carb meals, careful carb counting and avoidance of all alcoholic beverage consumption. You may have done all this already, but if not, it might be worth trying. Also, I'm not assuming that you do drink, just, in case you do drink, to avoid it during the testing period. Whatever you do, I wish you the success in managing T1D. It's a rough path. Hang on tight and stay the course.

"she can eat whatever she wants...." Not the best way to stay healthy, but also not with the available Insulin. All in all I think this is great. But we must not forget that with or without diabetes, the ultimate goal is to be aware of our body, stay healthy by making good choices with the right food, and lets not forget, to stay active and exercise. I don't want to see in 10 years time, once the Bionic Pancreas is available to us, people continuously growing and living with other medical conditions due to bad nutrition and making poor choices because they think they have the freedom to do with their junk food whatever they want.
