The Wireless Age in Diabetes: Insulet Raises $50 Million
Insulet, developer of a fundamentally new insulin delivery system, just raised $50 million in its fifth venture round. This brings the total it's raised to date to more than $120 million, which sounds like a tremendous sum for a small device company founded just six years ago, but relative to the size of the opportunity it's really not. There are one million diabetic patients who need to inject insulin several times a day to manage their diabetes. For these patients, Insulet has brought insulin pumps into the age of iPods.
J&J Closes the Loop with Animas Acquisition
Johnson & Johnson, whose LifeScan Inc. division is number one in the $6 billion glucose monitoring industry, acquired Animas, which after Medtronic MiniMed, is the number two player in the insulin pump market.
