Abstract

The artificial pancreas device system is an automated glucose control system that closely mimics the glucose regulating function of a healthy pancreas. In this paper, we describe a system that is partially doctor controllable and is used to automatically control blood sugar in people with type 1 diabetes through the fully automated measurement of blood glucose levels and the delivery of insulin and glucagon. We also take into account the varieties of insulin available and their effective time. When a patient's blood sugar is too high, insulin is given to the patient to bring the blood sugar back to a normal level. To prevent a patient's blood sugar from going too low, the patient is given glucagon which raises the patient's blood sugar back to a normal level. The whole system can be controlled and under observation by a doctor.
