PERSONAL INSULIN PUMP

Personal Insulin Pump

Introduction

In different medical instruments, we may find embedded control software. These instruments measure mimicking liver function, blood pressure, etc. These software systems can be sensed as critical systems because the failure of such instruments might affect life or at least health of the patient. Timely functioning of such systems is therefore responsible for patient's health. Personal insulin pump is one of the following instruments.

The insulin pump is a medical instrument used for people with diabetes. It prevents them from having to inject more insulin per day using a syringe or a pen. The insulin pump is gaining popularity. However, it is a complex device. It is important to know how to use it correctly to ensure proper operation and resolve any problem. If you do not know how to use the pump to properly control your blood sugar, or if problems arise, you may experience serious side effects resulting from poor management of diabetes.

The installation of insulin pump requires hospitalization for a few days. It is essential to teach him how to handle the pump safely but also adjust insulin requirements. It is a medical device which controls rate of insulin in the blood in patients with diabetes. Insulin pump is used as a substitute for daily injections of insulin using a syringe of insulin and allows intensive insulin therapy.

Treatment with insulin pump is a form of intensive insulin therapy designed to improve glycemic control. It uses an external pump cell, the size of a pager, which constantly releases the rapid-acting insulin with a probe. The probe should be changed every two or three days. It is inserted under the skin using a small needle is removed then.

Free insulin pump consistently and automatically amount (basal) insulin predetermined by the user. Base flow varies during the day and night, depending on the insulin needs of the person. To administer a bolus (extra insulin dose) at mealtimes or when blood glucose levels rise in an unusual way, simply press a button on the pump.

The external pump cell, the size of a mobile phone, and steadily releases an amount automatically (basal) insulin predetermined by the user. Base flow varies day to day and night, depending on the insulin requirement of the person. Insulin pump pancreas tries to imitate, but unlike the latter, it does not release a variable amount of insulin based on blood glucose. However, controlling his blood sugar regularly, it is possible advantage of the freedom offered by this method of administration. 

Discussion

The insulin pump is worn by a person diabetic insulin-dependent, which has a permanent need for insulin, the pancreas not secreting any more. This is an artificial device insulin delivery rate variable as programmable. The general requirements of personal insulin pump may include the following:

The function of the pancreas is mimicked with a personal insulin pump. An embedded sensor is required for the personal insulin pump which measures blood sugar level and insulin is injected through it to maintain the normal level of ...
