  1. This article talk about the capacity of the machine inside your body that can measures blood sugar levels and help people with diabetes.
    In my opinion there are many artificial machines that help people to survive such as machines for heart or machines that can help to walk for knees. so, i think that can be a help and not something wrong.

  5. If I am a diabetic and the function of artificial machine is stable, I think I would be comfortable having an artificial machine in my body. Because I can know about how the pancreas and glucose act in my body anytime, diabetics need to control their diet very carefully. ChiaYen (JiaYan)
