Millions of Type 1 diabetes patients may be benefited if the device proves successful. In US alone, more than 3 million suffer from type 1 diabetes.

The new version uses a reconfigured cell phone for calculating the correct dose of insulin and control the pump, in contrast to the earlier versions using laptops. The device is essentially a Closed-loop insulin delivery system that mimics the pancreas by automatically monitoring the blood sugar levels and providing insulin as needed. This will relieve the patients from the task of checking their blood sugar levels and administering insulin shots regularly.


Earliest attempts to develop an automatic device for monitoring and delivering insulin started in 1970s. But it was the size of a refrigerator and the patients had to be in bed with an IV connected. Nearly four decades of research and the advances in technology has made it possible to produce a practical portable device which can reliably monitor the sugar levels, calculate and deliver the correct doses of insulin. The physicians have a wide choice of different types of insulin for the treatment of diabetes. Any suitable type of insulin can be used with the new automatic monitoring and delivery device.

The insulin types available for the treatment fall into five broad categories depending on how fast they act. They are Rapid-acting, Short-acting, Intermediate-acting, and Long-acting and Premixed.
