(Medical Xpress)—Development of a sophisticated artificial pancreas holds potential to transform the lives of patients with Type 1 diabetes. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-05-artificial-pancreas-tabs-sugar.html Diabetes Thu, 16 May 2013 08:22:45 EST news287911356 Researchers at the Universitat Politècnica de València and the Universitat de Girona have developed a new method for continuous glucose monitoring in patients with type 1 diabetes. It is based on a new calibration algorithm which is adapted to existing treatment devices and increases the accuracy in estimating blood glucose and helps regulate a controlled and automatic insulin release. The system has been patented by the two Spanish universities. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-05-method-ability-glucose-diabetic-patients.html Diabetes Wed, 08 May 2013 08:22:22 EST news287220126 For patients with type 1 diabetes, a dual-hormone artificial pancreas system (also known as a closed-loop delivery system) improved the control of glucose levels and reduced the risk of hypoglycemia compared with conventional pump treatment in a trial published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-01-dual-hormone-artificial-pancreas-closer-patients.html Diabetes Mon, 28 Jan 2013 12:00:03 EST news278588915 A diabetes specialist and Artificial Intelligence expert have collaborated to test the prototype of an artificial pancreas. Should a planned clinical study and clinical trial support the excellent 'simulated' results obtained so far, this breakthrough could one day change the lives of millions of people. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-11-quest-artificial-pancreas.html Medical research Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:01:06 EST news271965658 (HealthDay)—In healthy people without diabetes, glucose responsiveness tends to be higher after breakfast, which may have implications for the design of closed-loop insulin delivery systems for diabetes patients, according to a study published in the November issue of Diabetes. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-10-insulin-sensitivity-highest-breakfast.html Medical research Fri, 26 Oct 2012 16:30:25 EST news270487764 (HealthDay) -- The hypoglycemia-hyperglycemia minimizer (HHM) system, which includes a continuous, subcutaneous insulin infusion pump, continuous glucose monitor (CGM), and software, is able to predict changes in blood glucose and adjust accordingly, and manipulate insulin delivery compared to corresponding basal rates, according to two studies presented at the American Diabetes Association's 72nd Scientific Sessions, held from June 8 to 12 in Philadelphia. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-06-ada-hypo-hyperglycemia-minimizer-feasible.html Diabetes Tue, 12 Jun 2012 04:17:33 EST news258693446 (HealthDay) -- Progress continues to be made on the development of an artificial pancreas, a device that would ease the burden of living with type 1 diabetes. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-06-artificial-pancreas-diabetes-patients.html Diabetes Sun, 10 Jun 2012 12:40:01 EST news258549831 The 25.8 million Americans who have diabetes may soon be free of finger pricks and daily insulin dosing. Mayo Clinic endocrinologists Yogish Kudva, M.B.B.S., and Ananda Basu, M.B.B.S., M.D., are developing an artificial pancreas that will deliver insulin automatically and with an individualized precision never before possible. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-06-mayo-clinic-artificial-pancreas-ease.html Medical research Fri, 24 Jun 2011 17:24:00 EST news228155005 Engineering researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are combining automation techniques from oil refining and other diverse areas to help create a closed-loop artificial pancreas. The device will automatically monitor blood sugar levels and administer insulin to patients with Type 1 diabetes, and aims to remove much of the guesswork for those living with the chronic disease. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-06-weapons-juvenile-diabetes.html Diseases, Conditions, Syndromes Mon, 06 Jun 2011 12:02:53 EST news226580549
