Array and method for dosing a hormone regulating blood sugar in a patient
First Claim
1. Array for dosing a hormone suitable for regulating blood glucose of a patient comprising:
- a) a measuring device for detecting measured values correlatable with the blood glucose;
b) controlling means comprising a controller to process the measured values according to a control algorithm and a hormone dosing unit to administer a hormone dose;
c) a pilot control device acting on the controlling means to reduce dead time of the controlling means, characterized in that the pilot control device comprises a sensor and has a pre-controlling action on the controlling means in accordance with at least one influencing variable that is detected by the sensor and the sensor is an activity measuring unit for the sensory detection of a degree of physical activity of the patient.
