'smart' insulin that responds to changing blood sugar levels in real time

> People with type 1 diabetes may in future only need to give themselves insulin once a week, say experts

Whenever an article about T1D includes mention of an uncertain and unspecified future date, it’s relatively safe to replace it with “never.”

As someone with T1D, I won’t be holding my breath waiting for this. Personally I’m quite satisfied with multiple daily injections.

So my wife is a t1d for the last 36 years. The work we both believe in is a biological cure. I.e. identify the pathogen that triggers t1d developing a vaccine . As well as finding a cure for the people who are already sick. There is almost no incentive for any pharmaceutical company to pursue this , T1D drugs make them gobs of cash.

How does this compare to something like donislecel[1][2]?
