integration...

I did get some info that they (Medtronic) would probably never offer a unit that was closed loop. I mean one that monitors and reacts to the detected BG. It was stated that the liability involved with that would not be worth the risk. If it malfunctioned, the lawsuits would swamp the company.

However, having the 2 features in an open - alert/response type system could be very lucrative. They are a business after all, so I could see their thinking.
