Diabetes Care: High End Technology Based Insulin Pumps
Insulin pumps are small, computerized devices that mimic the way the human pancreas works by delivering small doses of short acting insulin continuously (basal rate). The device also is used to deliver variable amounts of insulin when a meal is eaten (bolus). The basal insulin rates are usually set up in your pump with your doctor, and you can have one or multiple basal settings programmed in your pump, based on your needs. You program the amount of insulin for your mealtime bolus directly on the pump. Most pumps come with built-in bolus calculators to help you figure out how much insulin you need at mealtime based on your glucose levels and the amount of carbohydrates you are eating.
Freestyle Libre Glucose Monitor
The Freestyle Libre 14 day system is a continuous glucose monitoring system consisting of a smart phone app or a handheld reader and a glucose sensor worn on the back of the upper arm. The sensor uses a thin, flexible filament inserted just under the skin to measure glucose every minute. Use your smart phone or handheld reader to scan the glucose sensor with a painless, one-second scan to replace finger sticks.
Biothesio Meter
The biothesiometer provides a quick and reliable assessment of vibration thresholds, which when related to the centile charts gives an objective measure of the progress of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
