Detailed explanation-1: -A closed-loop system combines a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor with an insulin pump to automate the delivery of insulin. This closed-loop system is sometimes referred to as an “artificial pancreas” because it aims to replicate how a pancreas would react to rising or falling blood glucose levels.
Detailed explanation-2: -Closed-loop artificial pancreas device (APD) systems are externally worn medical devices that are being developed to enable people with type 1 diabetes to regulate their blood glucose levels in a more automated way.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Tandem T Slim X2 is arguably the best hybrid closed loop system on the market. It integrates with the Dexcom G6 CGM (the current gold standard of continuous glucose monitoring) which means no fingersticks. The control IQ keeps you in range.
