Array and method for dosing a hormone regulating blood sugar in a patient
First Claim
1. Array for dosing a hormone suitable for regulating the blood glucose of a patient (10) comprising a) a measuring device (16) for detecting measured values correlatable with blood glucose;
- b) controlling means (12) comprising a controller (44) to process the measured values according to a control algorithm and a hormone dosing unit (46) to administer a hormone dose;
c) a pilot control device (14) acting on the controlling means (12) to reduce the dead time of the control.

Abstract
The invention concerns an array and a method for dosing a hormone regulating the blood glucose, especially insulin of a diabetic patient (10). In order to improve the administration of the hormone, the invention provides the following characteristic combination: a) a measuring device (16) to detect measured values correlatable with blood sugar; b) a controlling means (12) comprising a controller (44) and a hormone dosing device (46) for supplying a hormone dosage; c) a pilot control device (14) acting on the hormone fine dosage controlling means (12) for performing a coarse pre-control in accordance with at least one influence variable that influences blood glucose.

26. Method for dosing a hormone suitable for monitoring the blood glucose of a patient (10) in which
a) measured values that can be correlated with blood glucose are detected; -
b) the measured values are fed to a controlling means (12) in which a controller (44) processes the measured values according to a control algorithm and outputs a hormone dose to a hormone dosage unit (46);
c) the controlling means (12) is pre-controlled by a pilot control device (14) to reduce the dead time.
