Insulin Pumps

It is advised for people with diabetes to eat healthily, which the Diabetes Plate Method helps with.

Healthy Diets

An injector pen with a smartphone app to help manage insulin delivery. It tracks what the insulin does and calculates how much insulin is needed for the next dose. It also provides reminders, alerts, and reports about your glucose levels. 

Smart Insulin Pens

The pump will integrate glucose data from the CGM sensor, then suggest adjusting the insulin doses or adjusting the basal insulin on its own. This is triggered by high or low levels of blood glucose levels. 

Combination of CGMs and Insulin Pumps

A sensor that reports glucose levels and alerts when glucose hits high and low limits. The sensor works by placing it on the skin, where it then transits readings to a recording device.
