Abstract
The complications of diabetes are thought to arise from poor control of blood glucose concentration because of inadequate secretion of insulin by the pancreas. This has motivated the undertaking of novel therapeutic approaches to improve insulin delivery. In this paper, two approaches are presented: model-based control algorithms for use in implantable insulin pumps, and a novel polymeric device which releases insulin at desirable levels
