0 Comment

Artificial Pancreas System Therapy (APS) is a process which promotes the normalization of carbohydrate metabolism in diabetic patients. APS affects multiple organs, especially muscle, retina, liver, kidney, and nerve endings. The process involves the administration of insulin pulses similar to those found in the portal circulation of normal humans using the Bionica MicroDose which is FDA.. read more →

Normally, insulin is secreted almost exclusively in a pulsatile fashion, in amounts closely related to the intake of meals. The pulses of insulin coupled with the presence of glucose, provides the necessary two signals to the liver for proper carbohydrate metabolism, whereas in comparison, continuous insulin infusion does not. In fact, continuous exposure to insulin.. read more →
