The system is called a Hybrid Closed Loop System, sometimes termed an artificial pancreas, where a blood sugar monitor, insulin pump and software on a person’s phone talk to each other, according to Diabetes UK.

Since this was missed in the auto-TLDR.

Patients still have to carry a few things around since it’s not an internal organ replacement, but it does save a huge mental load. Having seen a few of these up close, it looks especially freeing since they also have sport and sick modes which relax the blood sugar control slightly to reduce the risks of hypos.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Children and adults in England living with Type 1 diabetes are set to receive an “artificial pancreas” in a world-first initiative being rolled out by the NHS.

The NHS says this could prevent life-threatening hypoglycaemic and hyperglycaemia attacks, which can lead to seizures, comas or even death for people living with Type 1 diabetes.

NHS England says the mass rollout of the artificial pancreas builds on a successful pilot of the technology, which saw 835 adults and children with Type 1 diabetes given devices to improve the management of their condition.

Dr Clare Hambling, national clinical director for diabetes, said: "This is another example of the NHS leading the way in healthcare, rolling out these ground-breaking devices across England over the next five years.

“Type 1 diabetes is an easily missed diagnosis so if you are concerned about symptoms - the 4Ts - going to the Toilet, passing urine more frequently, with Thirst, feeling Tired and getting Thinner (losing weight), please come forward for support.”

I wonder whose system they are using.
