Introduction:
This automatic AID system is developed for adults and children (aged 6 and above) with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The pump only requires you to enter your weight and the insulin doses will be automatically triggered by the pump. The iLet Bionic pump will adapt to your usual meals and the insulin doses are determined every 5 minutes. You do not need to calculate your basal rates. However, you do have the option to set your glucose targets to ‘Usual’, ‘Higher’, or ‘Lower’.
When you consume less, announce ‘Lower’, and announce ‘Higher’ if you consume more carbohydrates. The ‘usual’, ‘Low’, and ‘High’ should be based on the carbohydrates in your meals instead of total meal sizes. This AID system for Type 1 diabetic patients is compatible with the Freestyle Libre 3 Plus sensor, Dexcom G6 sensor, and Dexcom G7 sensor.
For the best iLet adaption, please follow your usual meal routine for the first few days. Let this artificial intelligence know more about you!
