Implantable insulin stimulator

Diabetes is one of the major diseases affecting people all over the world irrespective of the age group. It is mainly classified into 2 types: type 1 and type 2. In type 1 diabetes insulin is not secreted by the pancreas, whereas in type 2 diabetes the cells fail to use the insulin that has been secreted. This proposed stimulator is for type-1 diabetes. It will have a sensor which senses the blood glucose level. In case of high level of glucose the trigger circuit is activated that will stimulate the pancreas to secrete insulin into blood. A timer attached will control the time for which the stimulation has to be given. This whole circuitry is powered by battery. All these set up can be placed in a case similar to the pacemaker. This procedure needs a surgery for the implant and eradicates the continuous injection of insulin to the patient. Thus whenever the blood glucose level goes higher than a preset value, the sensor senses immediately and stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin and have sufficient adaptability to various metabolic needs due to stress, illness, and exercise and food habits. Thus the normal glucose level in blood is maintained.
