TL;DR Summary

England's NHS will provide "tens of thousands" of type 1 diabetes patients with an "artificial pancreas" system, consisting of a sensor and an externally worn pump, to manage insulin levels without the need for finger sticks or injections. This move marks a significant shift as the publicly funded health care system will offer the technology for free, benefiting a large portion of the 269,095 people in England living with type 1 diabetes. The system requires some user input but can make a "life-changing difference" in managing the condition, according to Diabetes UK.
