- Abstract
In celebration of the discovery of insulin 100 years ago, and the almost 50 years since the first insulin pump was available in the market, we are writing this brief historical review of the evolution of diabetes technology, with emphasis in continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion and continuous glucose monitoring, in the path to the development of the artificial pancreas systems. These devices have helped us reach more physiological glycemic targets, reducing hypoglycemia. The development of the continuous glucose monitoring systems has allowed us to have more glycemic metrics that permit more precise assessment and adjustment of diabetes management. As long as type 1 diabetes prevention remains elusive, and the diabetes cure is not available, the artificial pancreas represents the most viable option to reach adequate glycemic control in those that have absolute insulin deficiency, increasing time in range and decreasing time in hypoglycemia.
