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!
Features:
No carb counting
With the iLet Bionic Pancreas, you can simply label meals as "Usual for me," "More," or "Less." This helps the device calculate the right insulin dose without needing to count carbohydrates exactly.
Meal Sizing
Users can classify their meal as small, medium, or large. This helps the iLet Bionic Pancreas adjust insulin delivery to match the meal size, improving blood sugar control.
iLet algorithms
The iLet Bionic Pancreas uses an adaptive algorithm that only needs the user's body weight to start, eliminating the need for complex settings like carb ratios or correction factors for insulin delivery.
Clear Notifications
Although it minimizes the hassle of calculations, you are not in the dark. iLet keeps you updated with clear notifications of your glucose trends and heads-up when your CGM goes offline.
Water Resistance
The iLet Bionic Pancreas is water-resistant, able to withstand being submerged up to 12 feet deep for 30 minutes, making it durable and reliable even in wet conditions.
FDA Approval
As of May 19, 2023, the iLet Bionic Pancreas is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for individuals aged 6 years and older with type 1 diabetes.
Mobile App Connectivity
The iLet Bionic Pancreas connects to the iLet mobile app, letting users easily track insulin delivery and glucose levels from their phone for better diabetes management.
Integration with CGM
The iLet Bionic Pancreas works with Dexcom G6, Dexcom G7, and Abbott FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor. These sensors provide real-time glucose data, helping the device adjust insulin delivery for better diabetes control.
