Advanced technologies for the treatment of diabetes

The artificial pancreas bridges of diabetes technology that already exist: the insulin pump and the continuous glucose monitor (CGM). A large percentage of world population is affected by diabetes mellitus, out of which approximately 5-10% with type 1 diabetes while the remaining 90% with type 2 diabetes. Insulin administration is essential for the patients of type 2.

Present insulin delivery systems are available as transdermal injections. Several approaches for insulin delivery are being pursued by pharmaceutical companies to reduce the pain, and hypoglycemic incidences associated with injections.
