SYSTEM FOR ADJUSTING BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL OF PERSON, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING WIRELESSLY CONNECTED EEG MONITOR AND INSULIN DELIVERY DEVICE

摘要

To provide a system for adjusting the blood glucose level of a person which avoids hypoglycemia while avoiding the risk of reaching hyperglycemia.SOLUTION: A system for adjusting blood glucose level comprises: an insulin release pump 2; an EEG monitor 1 arranged in the ear region of a person, with an EEG sensing part 12 including EEG electrodes and arranged subcutaneously at the scalp or arranged in the ear canal, where the EEG monitor includes a signal processor 11 arranged at the ear and adapted to identify the onset of hypoglycemia; and a wireless communication link 6 between the monitor and the pump, the wireless communication link adapted to confirm that there is a wireless connection at regular time intervals. A warning signal is sent to the pump upon the onset of hypoglycemia, and the pump restricts insulin delivery for a predetermined time. The monitor provides a warning upon the identification of the onset of hypoglycemia and in a situation where the wireless connection is lost. Further, in the case where the onset of hypoglycemia is identified in a situation where the wireless connection is lost, the warning provided by the monitor emphasizes that no automatic restriction of the insulin delivered from the pump can be performed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
