PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a blood glucose control system for providing relatively long-term adaptation of a nominal basal infusion rate around which the infusion of basal insulin is automatically modulated.SOLUTION: A subject 12 receives doses of insulin from one or more delivery devices 14, for example infusion pump(s) coupled by catheter(s) to a subcutaneous space of the subject 12. The delivery devices 14 may also deliver a counter-regulatory agent such as glucagon for control of blood glucose level under certain circumstances. For the delivery of both insulin and glucagon, a glucose sensor 16 is operatively coupled to the subject 12 to continually sample a glucose level of the subject 12. A controller 18 controls operation of the delivery device(s) 14 as a function of a glucose level signal 19 from the glucose sensor 16 and subject to programmed input parameters 20 which may be provided by the patient/user.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
