Single-Port Insulin Infusion for Improved Diabetes Management (SPIDIMAN)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Existing therapeutic devices for diabetic patients suffer from bulky size, inaccurate measurements and the difficulties of handling two body interfaces. Suboptimal control of blood glucose levels in type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus patients results in periods of hypo- and hyperglycaemia leading to severe and life-threatening complications. Exploiting a novel glucose sensor technology, SPIDIMAN a ...
