A diabetic woman has become the first in the world to give birth naturally after using an artificial pancreas while pregnant, reports BBC.
Catriona Finlayson-Wilkins, 41, of Knapton, Norfolk, gave birth to son Euan on Tuesday at the Norfolk and Norfolk University Hospital.
The new mother-of-two has Type 1 diabetes and wore the piece of kit throughout her pregnancy to produce insulin and prevent symptoms of the disease.

Artificial pancreas breakthrough
An artificial pancreas device system (APDS) is a small portable piece of equipment designed to carry out the function of a healthy pancreas.

It helps to control blood glucose levels using digital communication technology to automate insulin delivery.

An APDS is worn on the body during pregnancy and has a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), a digital controller and an insulin pump.
"It's a huge weight off your mind after being pregnant and diabetic, which is really risky. It's the most amazing piece of kit and I can really see how it's going to benefit all types of people with diabetes in the future."

Her first son was taken into intensive care when he was born because his blood sugar levels dropped dangerously low and she did not see him for a day.

Dr Helen Murphy, principal investigator of the study Ms Finlayson-Wilkins took part in, said, "Women who have diabetes in pregnancy face higher rates of birth defects, over-sized babies, pre-term delivery and stillbirth than other pregnant women. Treating diabetes in pregnancy can be particularly challenging because hormone levels are constantly changing and blood sugars can be difficult to predict.
