Latest Advance in the Treatment of Diabetes: An Artificial Pancreas

Preliminary results suggest the artificial pancreas can control blood sugar much better than patients can do on their own.

And while there are still several more years of testing -- researchers continue to make the technology smaller and more precise -- Sarah now dreams about one day living with her own artificial pancreas.

She's "very eager ... It would be amazing. Not having the every day, every minute, every hour hassle of worrying about my blood sugars," she said.

"If this comes into play, I can live a life like I did before, which is awesome."
