Abstract
A system for treating hypoglycemia includes a continuous blood glucose monitor that monitors blood glucose levels of a patient on a continuous basis over a period of time. An alarm and injector apparatus is configured to be worn by the patient and includes a glucagon delivery mechanism for automatically delivering glucagon to the patient if a hypoglycemic condition is detected using the continuous blood glucose monitor.

9. A method of treating hypoglycemia, comprising:
-
detecting a hypoglycemic condition using a continuous blood glucose monitor that monitors blood glucose levels of a patient on a continuous basis over a period of time; providing a first alarm signal to an alarm and injector apparatus worn by the patient if the hypoglycemic condition is above a predetermined blood glucose level; providing a second alarm signal to the alarm and injector apparatus worn by the patient if the hypoglycemic condition is below the predetermined blood glucose level; and providing an alarm using the alarm and injector apparatus in response to one or both of the first alarm signal and the second alarm signal, the alarm and injector apparatus comprising a glucagon delivery mechanism for delivering glucagon to the patient. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
