For individuals affected by Type 1 diabetes (T1D), a chronic disease in which the pancreas does not produce any insulin, maintaining the blood glucose (BG) concentration as much as possible within the safety range (70–180 mg/dl) allows avoiding short ...

Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion [PDF]
Use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion requires continuing available care by skilled professionals, careful selection of patients, meticulous patient monitoring, and provisions for recording and reporting experiences. Insulin pumps prescribed by a physician within these guidelines are a part of treatment and should be covered by

Pharmacokinetics of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion [PDF]
One of the reasons for the variability of blood glucose regulation in Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients is the huge variation in subcutaneous absorption of intermediate-acting insulin. We have investigated the variation in insulin absorption during continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in eight such patients. The content of insulin in the

Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy and multiple daily insulin injections in type 1 diabetes mellitus: a comparative overview and future horizons. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy is currently accepted as a treatment strategy for type 1 diabetes. Transition from multiple daily injection therapy (MDI; including basal-bolus regimens) to CSII is based on ...

Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion [PDF]
A tremendous amount of data suggest that near-normal glycemic control prevents or delays complications of diabetes, which has led to a dramatic increase in continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) or insulin pump use. In this article, the data supporting CSII in type 1 diabetes is reviewed, and the advantages and disadvantages of CSII are ...

Intraperitoneal insulin infusion: on the way to the artificial pancreas
Creating an "artificial pancreas" (a "closed loop" insulin pump, with self-adjusting insulin abilities, based on real time continuous glucose monitoring data) – is one of the most actual medical challenges of modern engineering and cybernetics.Artificial
