So, what exactly does the iLet Bionic Pancreas do?
The iLet Bionic Pancreas is a system that automatically dispenses insulin to the user based on just a couple of factors, minimizing the user’s effort.
During the initial setup, users only need to enter their weight to get started. When it comes to adjusting insulin dosing, the only information required is the desired glucose target (usual, lower, or higher), the type of meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner), and the size of the meal (usual, less, or more). That’s it!
No carb counting is necessary. Once these details are entered, the pump’s algorithm takes over and makes automatic adjustments to insulin dosing.
Curious about what users have to say about it?
During a panel discussion, a participant shared their experience, saying,
“I don’t think I had a clear sense of how much carb counting I do in my life, until I didn’t need to carb count. And I found that to be an incredibly mentally freeing experience,”.
However, a couple of other participants stated that it felt like they were giving up too much control, and that took a bit to get used to but both stated that within a few days of using it and getting comfortable with the device it was wonderful.
