Possibly. But it's more than that. You have site issues, even with one pump, that you need to navigate. There are only so many viable places on a body to attach a cannula for good absorptoin and, while small, these things aren't _tiny_ (especially the Omnipods where the site holds the cannula, pump and reservoir). It'll be a while before we see highly reliable and well-tested dual-reservoir systems is my bet. The complexities of balancing insulin and glucagon in a two-pump system are also high. And the feedback loop from sensors that detect BGL aren't super fast. My kid's Dexcom works on a 5 minute sample loop now. So you can't make decisions fast and when you do, you can't course correct a bad decision quickly. I love that people are working on this stuff. The folks at https://wearenotwaiting.net/ are amazing and we even use NightScout here, but the fragility of the systems are stark and it'll be a ways to go before it's not just the brave pioneers pushing these frontiers for T1Ds. |
