#63 You Too Can Build an Artificial Pancreas at Home: part 1 with Dana Lewis

#63 You Too Can Build an Artificial Pancreas at Home: part 1 with Dana Lewis

Dana Lewis has type 1 diabetes and one day she decided to try to make the alarms louder on her Dexcom CGM. That simple endeavor led Dana and her husband Scott to build their very own artificial pancreas... then they shared the code that they wrote online. Dana says that anyone who wants to, can do the very same thing. This is a story about ingenuity, community and the desire to live a better life.

In episode 64 of the JBP I talk with Scott and get his perspective on their journey.
