Single-Port Insulin Infusion for Improved Diabetes Management (SPIDIMAN)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Existing therapeutic devices for diabetic patients suffer from bulky size, inaccurate measurements and the difficulties of handling two body interfaces. Suboptimal control of blood glucose levels in type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus patients results in periods of hypo- and hyperglycaemia leading to severe and life-threatening complications. Exploiting a novel glucose sensor technology, SPIDIMAN a ...

A Portable bihormonal Closed Loop for Diabetes (PCDIAB)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2016,

The aim of PCDIAB is to build and evaluate a bihormonal (insulin and glucagon) artificial pancreas (AP) with automated closed loop glycaemic control for insulin treated patients with diabetes. This will be a breakthrough in diabetes management. We will miniaturize our current prototype consisting of well-established continuous glucose monitors, an insulin pump and a glucagonpump. The housing will ...

Bringing the artificial pancreas home (AP@home)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

Description In order to improve treatment of diabetes patients at home, the main goal of AP@Home is to build and evaluate an artificial pancreas (AP). The AP will allow automated glucose control: It monitors your blood glucose (sugar) levels and a software algorithm calculates how much insulin to deliver at any time via a built-in insulin in ...

Clinical Application for Metabolic Profiling (EU-CLAMP)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"Europe faces a diabetes epidemic. More than 55 million people in Europe are currently diagnosed with diabetes and with an estimated 20% increase by 2030, the disease is certain to stay one of the most challenging health problems this century. Especially as diabetes no longer is a disease exclusively for adults, but affects children, young people and adults of all ages. Despite the high prevalence ...

Development of a non-invasive hypoglycaemia sensor for diabetes patients (HYPOSENS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2010,

"Blood glucose monitoring is important in the care of diabetes mellitus and is presently accomplished via a “finger-stick” in which a lancet is used to prick the finger and withdraw a small amount of blood for testing. The problem with the existing “finger-stick”-devices is that blood sampling is painful, it increases the risk for infections and the test is discontinuous. A method for measuring t ...
