Abstract

Almost 45 000 patients with type 1 diabetes are concerned in France by outpatient insulin pump therapy. The first systems of insulin pump therapy guided by glycaemia have evolved driven by the work carried out by multi-disciplinary research teams. Today, the outpatient treatment of type 1 diabetes by an artificial pancreas is on the point of becoming reality.

Keywords: artificial pancreas; diabète de type 1; glycaemia; glycémie; insulin therapy; insulinothérapie; outpatient treatment; pancréas artificiel; traitement ambulatoire; type 1 diabetes.
