Thank the FDA and Pass it on!

Thanks to all your efforts, last week the FDA put out encouraging draft artificial pancreas guidance. While a detailed review is still under way, the FDA draft appears to lay a foundation for accelerating the development and availability of artificial pancreas systems that will improve the lives of millions of Americans living with type 1 diabetes.

We’d like your help in thanking FDA for releasing this draft guidance.  If you have a Facebook or Twitter (use hashtag #AP100k) profile, please ‘tag’ the FDA in a post thanking them:

  • On Facebook you can use this text: ‘Thank you FDA for releasing the draft artificial pancreas guidance, an important step towards life-saving technologies for millions with type 1 diabetes.’ (Be sure to like the FDA page, and then use the ‘@’ sign to tag their page.)
  • Or you can use this text for Twitter: ‘Thank you @US_FDA for releasing the draft artificial pancreas guidance, an important step towards life-saving technologies for millions with type 1 diabetes.’ #AP100k.’
  • Remember, we still have much work to do before artificial pancreas systems can be provided to those that need them, but in the meantime we should continue to follow the progress the FDA is making and encourage it to proceed as efficiently as possible.

Thanks again to YOU and the FDA!

Hasan

    Thank you so much for releasing the draft artificial pancreas guidance.  My little girl was diagnosed at the age of 3 and she has dealt with this terrible disease for 10 years.  Shot after shot, after prick, after poke for years and years.  This advance in technology would mean everything to her and millions of other children and adults that are living and fighting with this disease every day.  I can't put into words how thankful I am!
