Do-It-Yourself Artificial Pancreas Systems (DIY-APS)-which combine commercially available devices with open-source software-are increasingly used for the management of type 1 diabetes, despite a lack of formal regulatory approval in many jurisdictions, including in Italy. This position statement, endorsed by Italian diabetes societies (Associazione Medici Diabetologici, Societa Italiana di Diabetologia, and Società Italiana di Endocrinologia e Diabetologia Pediatrica) and "Diabete Italia", the national patient association, addresses the efficacy, safety, and legal implications of DIY-APS in Italy. Real-world evidence and clinical trials demonstrate that DIY-APS improves glycemic control and quality of life and reduce fear of hypoglycemia in users.

Intermittent fasting and research surrounding the influence of timed caloric restriction on body weight regulation and aging outcomes are trending, both in society and in the laboratory. To study time-restricted feeding and/or caloric restriction in the laboratory, allotted quantities of food are dispersed at scheduled time intervals. Current technology for scheduled feeding of rodents involves either specialized cages with gated food entry ports, time-locked digital hoppers, or manual food delivery.

Automated decision-making (ADM) systems can be worn in and on the body for various purposes, such as for tracking and managing chronic conditions. One case in point is do-it-yourself open-source artificial pancreas systems, through which users engage in what is referred to as "looping"; combining continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps placed on the body with digital communication technologies to develop an ADM system for personal diabetes management. The idea behind these personalized systems is to delegate decision-making regarding insulin to an algorithm that can make autonomous decisions.

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is an autoimmune disease marked by the destruction of pancreatic β cells, necessitating lifelong management. Current therapies, such as insulin injections and pancreas transplants, are effective but impose significant burdens, driving the need for innovative solutions. Among these, the bioartificial pancreas (BAP) stands out as a promising approach.

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is increasingly used in distributed field environmental monitoring, teaching, and citizen science. Consequently, the development of low-cost CE instruments using inexpensive components and do-it-yourself approaches has gained significant attention. Peristaltic micro-pumps (PMPs), with dimensions as small as 15 × 17 × 34 mm, offer advantages such as low cost, compact size, and energy efficiency, making them highly suitable for miniaturized CE instruments with automated flow-through injection.
