What about Omnipod? It's a type of patch, and a lot more -- it has brains.

And last but not least ...

As for huge breakthroughs ... Diabetics could soon produce their own insulin. Maybe this is why A. Man is not in such a hurry to put more money into MannKind.

http://tinyurl.com/o44c24v Just a little teaser below:

In a study published in the journal Cell, a team of Harvard Researchers transformed stem cells - which have the potential to develop into a range of different cell types - into beta cells, which produce insulin to help regulate blood sugar. These cells were then inserted into diabetic mice, whose blood sugar was observed over a few months.

Results showed that the manipulated cells functioned as normal beta cells and were not attacked by the immune system, which is what usually happens in diabetics. The cells had a noticeably fine-tuned response to sugar levels in the blood, and six months later, the mice’s blood sugar remained under control. This is a huge breakthrough that could help free diabetics from daily insulin injections.


Okay kids, I gotta go do some work. Just make sure you do your due diligence and don't put too much money in the wrong place (or in just one place).
