An app that wirelessly links to an implanted glucose sensor and insulin pump can automatically regulate blood sugar levels in children better than the current standard therapy
Type 1 diabetes is caused by the destruction of cells in the pancreas, which normally produce the hormone insulin to regulate blood glucose levels. A lack of regulation in blood glucose can be life-threatening.
To simplify this process, Ware’s colleagues previously spent years developing an app called CamAPS FX, which links to a glucose sensor under the skin and an insulin pump that feeds into a fat layer in the abdomen. An algorithm automatically calculates how much insulin should be delivered based on the measured glucose levels. Before meals, extra insulin doses must still be manually entered.
