Detailed explanation-1: -An artificial pancreas automatically monitors your blood glucose level, calculates the amount of insulin you need at different points during the day, and delivers it. Most artificial pancreas systems require you to count and enter the amount of carbohydrates you consume at mealtime.
Detailed explanation-2: -How insulin works. Insulin is released from the beta cells in your pancreas in response to rising glucose in your bloodstream. After you eat a meal, any carbohydrates you’ve eaten are broken down into glucose and passed into the bloodstream. The pancreas detects this rise in blood glucose and starts to secrete insulin.
Detailed explanation-3: -Artificial pancreas is the system consisting of a glucose sensor, a control algorithm, and an insulin infusion device. It works on the basis of a closed-loop system of control of blood glucose in diabetes (Cobelli et al., 2011). In the closed-loop system, glucose sensor estimates plasma glucose level.
