About this listen
Insulin is a hormone that cannot be taken as an oral medication. It must be delivered by injection into the blood stream. To determine the correct Insulin dose to be injected, a reading of the current glucose level in the blood must be made first.
Traditionally, this has been done by a Lancet Device, commonly called a finger pricker that jabs the skin of usually a finger and draws a small amount of blood. The blood is transferred to a test strip in a Blood Glucose Monitor. While blood glucose monitoring devices measure the glucose in your blood, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices measure the glucose levels in the interstitial fluid. The interstitial fluid sits in between the cells of your body.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring devices attach to the body and work with a sensor and a Blood Glucose reader or better, a smartphone. Diabetics use this information to calculate the insulin dose they need and inject if using a syringe.
Insulin pumps, small pager like devices worn externally on a belt and connected to a needle in the patient’s body by tubing, can be programmed to administer doses from a cartridge of insulin. The most recent advances in insulin pump technology, OmniPod by Insulet, are tubeless and attach to the body using medical adhesive.
The pump contains a cartridge of Insulin and a small needle to perform the injection. The OmniPod sticks to the body with medical adhesive and is programmed remotely to administer doses using a Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM).
Today the OmniPod Insulin Pump and Dexcom G6 and G7 CGMs communicate. This integration allows the CGM readings to be shared with OmniPod, which calculates and administers the appropriate dose automatically.
This book will help you learn about Diabetes and the latest advances in Diabetes care and management.
I hope you enjoy and find this book useful.
