Detailed explanation-1: -An artificial pancreas system uses a continuous glucose monitor, an insulin pump, and a program stored on the pump or a smartphone (top). The insulin pump can be worn on a belt, stored in a pocket, or attached directly to the skin (bottom).
Detailed explanation-2: -An automated insulin delivery system consists of three distinct components: a continuous glucose monitor to determine blood sugar levels, a pump to deliver insulin, and an algorithm that uses the data from the CGM and pump to determine needed insulin adjustments.
Detailed explanation-3: -Real-time CGMs. These systems are made up of three components: the sensor (a small wire catheter that is inserted under the skin on your arm or abdomen), a transmitter that attaches to the sensor, and a handheld receiver and/or smartphone that displays your glucose data in real time.
