Al-Marsad newspaper: British doctors succeeded in testing an artificial pancreas to stabilize the level of sugar and insulin in the body of 26 volunteers with type 2 diabetes.
The artificial pancreas, which was tested in Britain, constantly monitors the change in the concentration of sugar in the patient’s body, and determines the amount of insulin that must be pumped into the blood, in the event of a sharp rise.
And the results of testing the artificial pancreas on 26 volunteers with the severe form of type 2 diabetes over a four-week period showed that it succeeded in its job completely, as doctors noticed the stability of the blood sugar level in all patients during 66 percent of the time, and this was what was happening. It is used by patients when insulin is injected into the body several times a day. It was found that the new treatment method reduced the average blood sugar level by 36 percent compared to insulin injections.
