Background And Aims: The use of a bionic pancreas with automated insulin delivery systems to prevent complications of diabetes mellitus shows conflicting results. We aimed to comprehensively discuss the potential use of a bionic pancreas in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Methods: A systematic database search was conducted on October 24, 2022, for articles investigating the use of a bionic pancreas in patients with T1D. The hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level, mean glucose level, glucose coefficient of variability, time-in-range (TIR), and adverse events were investigated.

Results: Nine studies were included in this review. The data from these studies suggested that the use of a bionic pancreas could reduce the HbA1c (mean difference [MD] = -0.40% [95% confidence interval {CI} = -0.59 to -0.21], I = 0%, p < 0.0001) and mean glucose levels (MD = -21.06 [95% CI = -24.66 to -17.46], I = 45%, p < 0.00001) and improve the TIR (MD = 14.41% [95% CI = 10.99 to 17.83], I = 60%, p < 0.00001). The most common adverse events reported were nausea and vomiting.

Conclusions: The use of a bionic pancreas shows potential in preventing complications of T1D by improving the TIR and decreasing the HbA1c and mean glucose levels. Furthermore, serious adverse events with the use of a bionic pancreas and standard of care show insignificant results, suggesting a good safety profile.

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess adults' perspectives after using the insulin-only Bionic Pancreas (BP) during a 13-week pivotal trial. Automated insulin delivery (AID) systems show promise in improving glycemic outcomes and reducing disease burden for those with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). Understanding the lived experience of those using the BP can help to inform education and uptake of AID devices.

To evaluate the psychometric properties of a patient-reported outcome measure, the Automated Insulin Delivery-Benefits and Burdens Scale (AID-BBS), which was designed to assess benefits and burdens of AID use in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The measure was hypothesized to have validity, reliability, and clinical utility for predicting likelihood of continued use of an AID system. A total of 217 adults with T1D (ages from 18 to 82 years) who were enrolled in an AID system research trial completed AID-BBS items at study midpoint (6 weeks) and at the end of the trial (13 weeks).

Objective: Automated insulin delivery (AID) systems show great promise for improving glycemic outcomes and reducing disease burden for youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The current study examined youth and parent perspectives after using the insulin-only iLet Bionic Pancreas (BP) during the 13-week pivotal trial.

Methods: Parents and youth participated in focus group interviews, with questions assessing participants' experiences in a variety of settings and were grounded in the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology.

Islet or β-cell transplantation is currently considered to be the ideal treatment for diabetes, and three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting of a bionic pancreas with physiological stiffness is considered to be promising for the encapsulation and transplantation of β-cells. In this study, a 5%GelMA/2%AlgMA hybrid hydrogel with pancreatic physiological stiffness was constructed and used for β-cell encapsulation, 3D bioprinting, and in vivo transplantation to evaluate glycemic control in diabetic mice. The hybrid hydrogel had good cytocompatibility and could induce insulin-producing cells (IPCs) to form pseudoislet structures and improve insulin secretion.
