Artificial pancreas Diabeloop - New invention for diabetics

According to information published on March 10 in French newspaper La Croix, doctors from the country have suggested testing artificial pancreas Diabeloop to help diabetics better balance their blood sugar levels.

The article, entitled "Artificial pancreas, can improve diabetic people's daily life," stating the size of a smartphone (smartphone), Diabeloop is glued to the patient's abdomen.

Thanks to the Bluetooth application, this electronic device can be connected to a special smartphone (smartphone) in the pocket. The whole system will operate in a closed loop with the function of measuring blood sugar then ordering directly to the insulin syringe to inject a corresponding dose.

The artificial pancreas Diabeloop mentioned above is being tested for people with type I diabetes.

The artificial pancreas Diabeloop is being tested in people with type I diabetes or insulin in 10 major French hospitals.

According to the inventors, this device can help reduce 1,000-10,000 cases of diabetes each year. If the test results are positive, Diabeloop will be launched in Europe by the end of 2017.

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder when the body does not use glucose properly. The disease can lead to long-term complicated complications, affecting most parts of the body.

Meanwhile, type I diabetes occurs when the immune system destroys insulin-producing cells of the pancreas (beta cells), thereby causing the body to stop producing insulin and unable to regulate blood sugar in the blood. . About 10% of people with diabetes have type I diabetes.

This disease does not have any cure. Usually, patients can only control blood sugar well with a low-starch diet, combined with medication and scientific training.
