Lauren Sanchez, in preparation for her Venice wedding, is carrying an Eiffel Tower purse that likely costs more than your monthly salary.
Jeff Bezos’s yacht Koru’s purchase price could supply insulin for 856,666 diabetics or feed roughly 1,285,000 people for an entire year.
The Bezos/Sanchez $10 million wedding is just the tip of the selfish iceberg that is the Amazon empire, -- known for grinding warehouse workers into the ground with surveillance practices, extreme time manag…

In silico evaluation of pramlintide dosing algorithms in artificial pancreas systems
Pramlintide's capability to delay gastric emptying has motivated its use in artificial pancreas systems, accompanying insulin as a control action. Due to the scarcity of pramlintide simulation models in the literature, in silico testing of insulin-plus-pramlintide strategies is not widely used. This work incorporates a recent pramlintide pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics model into the T1DM UVA/Padova simulator to adjust and validate four insulin-plus-pramlintide control algorithms. The proposa…

Glucagon and insulin production in pancreatic cells modeled using Petri nets and Boolean networks
Diabetes is a civilization chronic disease characterized by a constant elevated concentration of glucose in the blood. Many processes are involved in the glucose regulation, and their interactions are very complex. To better understand those processes we set ourselves a goal to create a Petri net model of the glucose regulation in the whole body. So far we have managed to create a model of glycolysis and synthesis of glucose in the liver, and the general overview models of the glucose regulatio…

1. Check your blood sugar.
2. Eat a small home-made doughnut (without taking extra insulin).
3. 10 minutes later, check your blood sugar again.
> You get a lower value.

Was handed a Marvel comic on the street about a hero who has a device that automatically pumps a drug into their system.
(Plot twist: it’s insulin.)

Estimating Visceral Adiposity from Wrist-Worn Accelerometry
Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a key marker of both metabolic health and habitual physical activity (PA). Excess VAT is highly correlated with type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. The mechanistic basis for this pathophysiology relates to overloading the liver with fatty acids. VAT is also a highly labile fat depot, with increased turnover stimulated by catecholamines during exercise. VAT can be measured with sophisticated imaging technologies, but can also be inferred directly from PA. We …
