Just spotted this .. Interesting

Smart Insulin Nanostructures Pass Feasibility Test, Study Reports

Biomedical engineers at The University of Texas School of Health
Information Sciences at Houston have announced pre-clinical test results in
the September issue of the International Journal of Nanomedicine
demonstrating the feasibility of a smart particle insulin release system
that detects spikes in glucose or blood sugar levels and releases insulin to
counteract them.

Does this mean I can eat Bon Bons....... in 2020?

You can eat them now! But I wouldn't advise it.

That's nice, if it works. Do you have *ANY IDEA* how many times people
have come up with similar ideas, over how many decades?Chemical
sensors for insulin pumps, Norplant-like implants embeddeded with
insulin and glucinase to be hydrophobic or hydrophilic depending the
pH set by the glucinase, etc., etc., etc.?

I'll believe it when I see it: I remain a skeptical person, suspicious
of clever chemical technologies before they're fully safety tested.
