SUMMARY:Breakthroughs in Diabetes: Real Progress or Just More of the Same?
DESCRIPTION:Breakthroughs in Diabetes\nReal Progress or Just More of the Same?\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tuesday\, February 26\, 2019\n6:00 pm to 8:30 pm\n6:00 pm: Reception and networking\n7:00 pm: Panel discussion (with Q&A) \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				More than 1.5 million people in the United States live with Type 1 diabetes\, a disease in which the pancreas does not produce enough insulin\, and managing this disease can be a huge burden. Yes\, the industry has come a long way from the room-sized artificial pancreas of the 70s\, paper records\, finger pricking\, and manual injections. However\, even though these treatments are improving\, they still require constant vigilance. One missed alarm or delayed injection could be fatal. \nWith today’s continuous glucose monitoring systems and self-optimizing insulin pumps — and improved software that connects the two — the search for the artificial pancreas may be close to over. And it’s not just big companies and startups that are having an impact. Feeling that progress still seems slow\, some patients are taking matters into their own hands and creating their own artificial pancreas. Wherever these new solutions come from\, they will have the power to transform millions of lives. \n\nHow close are we to an artificial pancreas?\nWhat are companies learning from the patients who have made home-grown solutions?\nIs the industry poised to shift from “treating” to “curing” diabetes?\n\nJoin us on February 26 to find out. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Moderator\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Amy Tenderich\, Founder and Editor-in-Chief\, DiabetesMine \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Panelists\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Jeffrey Brewer\, Founder and CEO\, Bigfoot Biomedical \nEugene Brandon\, Senior Director of Strategic Relations\, ViaCyte \nJoel Goldsmith\, Senior Director\, Digital Platforms\, Abbott Diabetes Care \nDivya Gopisetty\, Associate\, The diaTribe Foundation \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				View or download flyer for event: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Download the printable PDF. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Stanford Faculty Club\nStanford University\n439 Lagunita Drive\nStanford\, CA 94305\nDriving directions and parking information
