We are so used to hearing about the hurdles, delays and frustrating steps being taken by companies to move devices forward.

I was floored, and excited to spend the last 2.5 hours speaking with Ed Damiano who designed the algorithms for the AP. he showed me the next generation AP, which is going to be run off of an iPhone.

The front side shows the iPhone. The second photo shows the back of the case, which is the new generation Dexcom G4. A closed loop system that can fit in my pocket. NEXT GENERATION!

He is submitting it to the FDA in 3 weeks for approval to use in the next phase of his AP research studies.

By the numbers:
Less than 1% of blood glucose lower than 70 on the AP
Easily keep A1c’s between 6.5 and 7 for adults and 7 and 7.5 for kids.

He plans on having a small AP available on the market within 5 years, when his son goes to college.

He was not in the diabetes world when his son was diagnosed at 11 months of age. He is determined to solve the T1D problem of lack of care free management.
