A team at Princess Margaret Hospital for Children in Perth has fitted a newly developed medical device that functions as an artificial pancreas to a four-year-old boy suffering from type-1 diabetes. The battery-powered pump supplies insulin in doses according to automated readings of glucose levels, in order to prevent hypoglycaemic attacks. The product is already freely available to diabetes patients, including adults, but the cost is still high at $A10,000
