Tim Jones, head of the Department of Endocrinology at Princess Margaret Hospital for Children in Perth, Australia, and his team had developed an artificial ‘pancreas-like’ pump that delivers and suspends insulin in diabetes patients, Xinhua reported on Friday.

The new device can identify a potentially fatal coma in patients and suspend the supply of insulin when their blood-sugar levels get dangerously low. (Read: Cut risk of diabetes by 30 per cent with just 30 minutes of physical activity)

‘Some patients will notice symptoms like a pounding heart and shakiness as their blood glucose drops,’ Jones said.

‘Other people don’t experience any warning signs at all, meaning the reliance on this technology is even greater,’ Jones added.

Jones said the new pump can help patients avoid episodes of hypoglycemia or low blood glucose.

Mike Wilson, chief executive of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, said the development has brought Australia a step closer to the creation of fully automated artificial pancreas. (Read: Eating walnuts may keep heart disease and diabetes at bay!)

What is diabetes?

Diabetes is a metabolic disease which is characterised by high blood sugar levels. It can be caused either due to the lack of insulin (type 1 diabetes) or because the body s cells fail to respond to the insulin produced (type 2 diabetes). Some of the common symptoms of diabetes are hunger, frequent urination and increased thirst. While type 1 diabetes is usually genetic, type 2 diabetes is caused more by lifestyle factors. It is one of the common lifestyle diseases which is plaguing people in the developed countries and often has a causal link to heart diseases, hypertension and obesity. (Read more..)
