The UK has embarked on a first-of-its-kind initiative that will make the lives of many diabetics much easier.
The recently approved devices should eliminate the need for patients to constantly measure their blood glucose levels.
Diabetes is characterized by having chronically high levels of blood sugar.

There are other artificial pancreas devices in development or available to the public elsewhere.
