An artificial pancreas has long been considered the holy grail for people with type 1 diabetes, and new research suggests a more convenient version of this technology may help the millions of people living with type 2 diabetes.
FRIDAY, Jan. 13, 2023 -- The pancreas produces insulin, the hormone that helps blood sugar enter cells to be used as energy.
With closed-loop systems for type 1 diabetes, the user enters information several times a day about the timing and size of their food intake, but insulin delivery between meals and overnight is automated. By contrast, the new system for people with type 2 diabetes is a fully closed loop. This means users don’t have to input any information.
Boughton said this is equivalent to an additional eight hours a day and was achieved without increasing the risk of dangerously low glucose levels. What’s more, people delivering insulin via shots spent two-thirds of their time with high glucose levels, compared with 33% when using the artificial pancreas, the researchers found.
The researchers have previously shown that an artificial pancreas run by a similar algorithm is effective for those with type 1 diabetes and have also tested this system in people with type 2 diabetes who require kidney dialysis.
