| Summary |
Research is the result of designing a working prototype of an automated insulin dosing device. A large percentage of diabetics in the United States have mobility problems that lead to difficulty in testing their blood sugar levels. Any automation will lead to more accurate and safer testing practices. The project was the complete design and assembly of everything needed to automate all processes from the blood glucose meter, used to sample blood, to the dosage information and dispensing of Humalog© insulin, for intramuscular injection. This was done by reading the information that comes out of an Accu-Chek Complete© and determining the proper dosage of Humalog© insulin to be injected. This process will then cause a linear actuator to fill an insulin syringe with the correct dosage, and after checking the dosage the user will be able to inject themselves.
