A distinguished hematologist and oncologist for the past 30 years, Kenneth D. Nahum is a recipient of the Humanitarian Physician of the year award from Kimball Medical Center. Currently serving at Regional Cancer Care Associates (RCCA) in New Jersey, Kenneth D. Nahum also supports medical advancements through contributions to his local chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). One of the many ways JDRF supports patients with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is through its artificial pancreas program. The artificial pancreas is a portable, convenient technology system that helps people managing T1D live a more normal life without the need to check blood-sugar levels or inject themselves with insulin multiple times per day. Using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and insulin pump, the artificial pancreas responds to changes in the patient’s blood sugar level with an algorithm-based appropriate dosage at the right time. The technology is user-friendly, miniature, and not visible to anyone other than the user.
