Kelly's Bionic Pancreas Trial

Episode 42 of my podcast is an hour long conversation with an RN and CDE who recently completed a six week bionic pancreas study at Massachusetts General Hospital. 

I'm going to drag you blog readers into the podcast world one way or another, might as well come peacefully... :)

You can listen right hear in the blog post with this player or through iTunes. An hour may seem like a lot of time but you can listen while you do the laundry, do the dishes, grocery shop or while your are in the car. 

More photos from Kelly's bionic pancreas trial are available here.

Next weeks episode is an hour with actor Victor Garber. Victor has been living with type 1 diabetes since he was 13 years old and he is about the most delightful person I've ever met. Subscribe today.
