One way of survival for diabetic patients, especially type 1 sufferers, is to inject insulin into their bodies. Use insulin itself to regulate blood sugar levels, regulate carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism.
However, in some patients the activity of injecting insulin is a hassle and pain that often arises, because of this the Italian researchers found a solution.
Researchers from the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies have created a robot that will live inside a human stomach.
There are two parts to this system: an internal insulin dispenser which is surgically implanted in the patient's body and a magnetic capsule filled with insulin.
So, the way it works is that every time the patient needs a dose of insulin, the patient will swallow a pill where it flows into the digestive system.
The insulin dispenser uses a magnet to rotate the capsule into position and puncture it with a retractable needle and fill it with insulin.
Then the magnetic capsule travels around the patient's digestive system and releases insulin until it is empty and secretes insulin liquid.
It also relies on wireless charging which means there is less intervention involved and less maintenance.
This method sounds scary because there is something implanted in the human body. It is however believed that there are some diabetic patients out there who may be able to appreciate that this would be a relatively less painful method of insulin delivery.
