Lia will talk about the electronics that help keep her healthy and alive, the difficult decision to be attached 24/7 to an insulin pump and that “cyborgs” do in fact have sex.

There will be time for Q&A, open discussion on defining the role in medicine and actual insulin pumps and glucose meters for you to play with.
