THE WORLD'S FIRST SELF-ADJUSTING INSULIN PUMP SYSTEM
FOR PEOPLE who have TYPE 1 DIABETES
Now available in the U.K
With well-controlled blood glucose levels is essential to be as close to normal human ranges as possible and help in the prevention of complications in patients with type 1 diabetes.
Since the invention of continuous under the subcutaneous insulin infusion, the aim has been to develop an artificial pancreas, with the ability to use an automated algorithm to deliver one or more hormones in response to blood glucose with the intent to keep blood sugar as close to a prespecified target as possible.
With rapid improvement of continuous glucose sensor technologies has recently allowed progress toward a fully closed-loop, insulin delivery system which I believe the Dana pump can do this now
Around, 2017, Medtronic began producing the 670G insulin pump with Guardian 3 sensor.
When in auto mode, this is a hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system that automatically adjusts basal insulin delivery every 5 min based on sensor glucose to maintain blood glucose levels as close to a specific target as possible.
