A new research study may offer those with diabetes hope in the form of an “artificial pancreas.” The new device responds automatically to changes in blood sugar. One of the researchers on the project is Ed Damiano. Ed has great interest in helping those with diabetes - his son David was diagnosed with the disorder as an infant. Ed and his wife Toby join Dick to talk about their son, and their hope for the tools that are being built to help those with diabetes. This story was originally broadcast on January 7, 2009.
