血糖仪方案_即将于今年夏天推出的新型集成实时血糖仪和泵

Today I received this email from my local Insulin Pump rep:

今天，我收到了来自本地胰岛素泵代表的电子邮件：

On April 12th, 2006 our new Paradigm REAL-Time System was approved by the FDA.  This is the first-ever insulin pump with REAL-time glucose sensing capability, and is a huge step towards our goal of creating the artificial pancreas. 

2006年4月12日，我们的新型Paradigm REAL-Time系统获得FDA的批准。 这是有史以来第一款具有实时葡萄糖感应功能的胰岛素泵，是朝着我们创造人造胰腺目标迈出的一大步。

If you are not currently on an insulin pump and would like to know more about this, please feel free to contact me at the information listed below.  If you are already on a MiniMed pump, I encourage you to visit our website, www.minimed.com , or call 1-800-MINIMED to find out how you can upgrade to this new insulin pump system. 

如果您当前未使用胰岛素泵，并且想了解更多有关此信息，请随时通过以下信息与我联系。 如果您已经在使用MiniMed泵，建议您访问我们的网站www.minimed.com或致电1-800-MINIMED，以了解如何升级到新的胰岛素泵系统。

Medtronic Diabetes (MiniMed) is very excited to offer you this breakthrough technology!  Please feel free to contact me locally if you have any questions.  To see a demonstration of this new system, please attend one of our many “Pump events”.  You can see a list of events and sign up for one at www.minimed.com/events . 

美敦力糖尿病(MiniMed)很高兴为您提供这项突破性技术！ 如有任何疑问，请随时与我联系。 要观看此新系统的演示，请参加我们的许多“泵活动”之一。 您可以在www.minimed.com/events上查看事件列表并进行注册。

This is huge. If a number of things come together, I should be hooked up to this system in mid-June. Here's the back story.

这是巨大的。 如果有很多事情在一起，我应该在6月中旬加入这个系统。 这是背景故事。

Shots ten years ago: For years I took shots, as did and as do many Type 1 diabetics, to keep my blood sugar down. (More detail in my Diabetes: Airplane Analogy) You eat, food turns into glucose and your blood sugar goes up as your body is missing insulin, the hormone needed to deliver the sugar to your cells. Typically this is done with two kinds of Insulin, one that's short acting (starts working in an hour and lasts about 6 hours) that you inject at every meal, and one long acting that is running "in the background" that you inject 2-4 times a day.

十年前开枪：多年来，我和许多1型糖尿病患者都开了枪，以降低血糖。 (在我的糖尿病中更详细的信息：飞机类比)您会进食，食物变成葡萄糖，血糖上升，这是因为人体缺少胰岛素，胰岛素是将糖传递到细胞所需的激素。 通常，这是通过两种胰岛素来完成的，一种是在每次进餐时注入的短效胰岛素(开始工作一个小时，持续约6个小时)，另一种是在后台注入的长效胰岛素(2-每天4次。

Shots today: Today, there are newer insulins, a short acting one that starts working in minutes and lasts a few hours, and a long acting one that lasts for 24 hours that you only have to inject once. This means, wake up, take a shot for the background insulin, then take a shot for each meal. This is a great therapy if you stick to it. It's often called the "poor man's pump."

今天要出手：今天，出现了更新的胰岛素，一种短效胰岛素在几分钟内开始起作用，持续数小时，而长效胰岛素持续24小时，您只需注射一次即可。 这就是说，醒来，为背景胰岛素注射一剂，然后为每顿饭注射一剂。 如果坚持下去，这是一种很棒的疗法。 它通常被称为“穷人的泵”。

Pumps a few years ago: My insulin pump is a delivery device, that's it. It is a tube about 3 feet long that is stuck into me with a 9mm needle/canula. I'm connected to it 24 hours a day, except for a few minutes in the shower. I prick my fingers 8-10 times a day to draw blood and check my sugar levels. A few years back I'd do some calculations in my head and decide how much insulin the pump should give me. The pump was ignorant and just followed orders.

几年前的泵：我的胰岛素泵就是输送装置，仅此而已。 它是一根长约3英尺的管子，用9毫米针头/套管插入我体内。 我每天24小时都连接到它，除了几分钟的淋浴时间。 每天我会用手指刺8-10次以抽血并检查血糖水平。 几年前，我脑子里做了些计算，然后决定泵应该给我多少胰岛素。 泵是无知的，只是遵循命令。

Pumps this year: Newer pumps, like the one I have now can communicate wirelessly (one way, receiving information only) with my blood sugar meter. I prick my finger and the meter "announces" the blood sugar value and the pump records it. Since the pump knows how much insulin it's been delivering, it can do the math for me and make suggestions as to how much insulin I should take. It doesn't do anything automatically, but it does suggest and I "close the loop." The "closed loop" system is the Holy Grail of Diabetes Management - a system that checks sugar automatically, delivers insulin automatically and keeps me alive automatically (presumably without mistakes.

今年的泵：较新的泵，例如我现在可以使用的泵，可以与血糖仪进行无线通信(一种方式，仅接收信息)。 我刺了一下手指，血糖仪“宣布”血糖值，泵将其记录下来。 由于泵知道它正在输送多少胰岛素，因此它可以为我做数学运算并为我应该服用多少胰岛素提出建议。 它不会自动执行任何操作，但会提示并“关闭循环”。 “闭环”系统是糖尿病管理的圣杯-该系统可自动检查糖分，自动输送胰岛素并自动保持我的生命(大概没有错误)。
