IN BRIEF Artificial pancreas systems are rapidly developing and constitute the most promising technology for insulin-requiring diabetes management. Single-hormone systems (SH-AP) that deliver only insulin and have a hybrid design that necessitates patients’ interventions around meals and exercise are the first to appear on the market. Trials with SH-AP have demonstrated improvement in time spent with blood glucose levels within target ranges, with a concomitant decrease in hypoglycemia. Longer and larger trials involving different patient populations are ongoing to further advance this important technology.
