I went to Medtronic headquarters in LA to learn about the history of diabetes technology and the journey to an artificial pancreas. I spoke with Ali Dianaty, Medtronic's Senior VP of Product Innovation and Operations about the first backpack-sized insulin pump, early Minimed pumps, an implantable insulin pump, the first continuous glucose monitors and more!
