I'm not an expert, but have a lot of exposure to this through my kiddo who is a type-1 (insulin deficient) diabetic. This could represent a step function change in her therapy. Only for folks using the latest and greatest in closed-loop pump therapy is there even an approximation of the pancreas function to elevate insulin levels in response to elevated blood glucose levels, and even then its too slow to be effective. Diabetics that want to closely manage their blood glucose levels have to carefully plan how they eat and how active they are, modulo sickness, periods/etc. If it was possible to have a latent insulin bolus floating around the bloodstream that could react to gluecose directly, it could provide an important buffer and possibly even a wonderfully passive approach to therapy vs. the ridiculous dance that patients undergo today.
