The fully closed-loop system represents a major advance in diabetes therapy. It connects an insulin pump with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to achieve full automation of insulin infusion, eliminating the need for patients to manually calculate carbohydrates or administer mealtime insulin injections.In September 2025, at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the […]

Closed-Loop Insulin Infusion System: Reducing the Burden of Diabetes Management
Closed-loop insulin delivery systems, also known as artificial pancreas systems, combine an insulin pump with a continuous glucose monitor to form a feedback loop. These systems automatically adjust insulin delivery based on real-time blood glucose levels, reducing the burden of diabetes management and improving overall glycemic control.Medtronic’s MiniMed 780G and Tandem’s Control-IQ are typical representatives […]
Medtronic and Tandem Diabetes Lead the Development of Next-Generation Insulin Pumps
Modern insulin pumps are compact devices that deliver insulin continuously throughout the day. With just a few button presses or settings, you can program the pump to inject the required insulin dose into your body at any time, adjust insulin delivery rates, thereby improving blood glucose control and reducing the frequency of injections.Companies such as […]
Breakthrough in the Treatment of Diabetes Using Chemical Reprogramming Technology
In January 2025, Professor Deng Hongkui’s research team, in collaboration with Professor Guan Jingyang’s team at Peking University, published their latest research findings entitled “A Rapid Chemical Reprogramming System to Generate Human Pluripotent Stem Cells” in Nature, a renowned international academic journal.This study not only revealed the key epigenetic barriers in the chemical reprogramming system […]
Can Diabetes Be Cured?
For a long time, diabetes has been regarded as a chronic disease that is difficult to cure. However, with the development of technology and the deepening of diabetes research, new therapeutic drugs, treatment plans and methods for diabetes are constantly improving, such as stem cell therapy and gene therapy for diabetes, which are cutting-edge research […]
EASD Releases Positive Clinical Trial Results for Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) in Diabetes Treatment
At the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in September, clinical trial results published in The Lancet showed that tirzepatide, sold under the brand name Mounjaro, significantly improved glycemic control and weight management in children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes, most of whom had responded poorly to existing […]
SGLT-2 Inhibitors Provide Cardiorenal Protection in Diabetic Patients
With the continuous advancement of pharmaceutical research, SGLT-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) have demonstrated cardiorenal protective effects, significantly improving adverse renal and cardiovascular outcomes in diabetic patients and reducing the risk of rehospitalization for heart failure and kidney disease.In current clinical practice, the commonly used SGLT-2i agents are recommended for use in combination with specific medications.In addition […]
Can islet transplantation cure diabetes?
Islet transplantation has the potential to cure diabetes. If a pancreatic transplant is successful and the body adapts well to the transplanted organ, diabetes may be fundamentally resolved. However, if the surgery fails or postoperative management is inadequate, pancreatic transplantation may not provide a permanent cure for diabetes.As a treatment for type 1 diabetes, pancreatic […]
Management of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
The management of gestational diabetes mellitus begins with blood glucose control through dietary adjustments and physical activity. This includes reducing intake of high-sugar and high-fat foods, increasing consumption of protein, vitamins and other nutrients, and engaging in appropriate exercise. These are modifications that pregnant women can implement on their own, without excessive medical intervention.If dietary […]
